Police Commissioner David Manning announced that the 2022 National General Election operation plans and preparations are on track for the launching and deployment of the joint security forces in the highlands region this week.  Commissioner Manning made these remarks during his official visit to Mt Hagen last week to inspect and ascertain the establishment of the joint security forces operation forward base at the Kimininga police barracks in Mt Hagen, Western Highlands. Mr Manning when receiving reports  from Divisional Commander Highlands Eastern-end Assistant Commissioner Rigga Neggi commended his police officers for initiating and commencing pre-election awareness and operations despite resource issues. “I want to commend you all for your efforts thus far. Like any other government departments, timely and adequate resources have always been a challenge but it is incumbent upon us as commanders to manage, command and control whatever resources that are available.   “I also want to put it on record that the national government has given us enough funding for this 2022 election security operations. Before we deploy for the polling, we should have all our necessary requirements fixed,” Commissioner Manning said.  He also added that the Quick Response Farce (QRS) comprises police, PNG Defense Force and Correctional Services members will arrive in Mt Hagen this week for the 2022 National General Election security operation grand opening in Mt Hagen over the weekend.
