Southern Command’s Assistant Commissioner of Police, Anthony Wagambie Jnr, said he was thankful this was done with the Military Police from the PNG Defence Force.
“We the Police have learnt a lot of lessons from the first experience last year during the State of Emergency, where pandemic restrictions were rushed, leaving police to enforce,” he stated.
“This led to so much confusion and created a rift between Police and the community.
“For the enforcement of pandemic measures, it is a whole-of-Government approach.
