Police in Madang are gearing up for the long Easter weekend police operations to ensure safe and peaceful celebrations in the communities in the province.
Madang Provincial Police Commander (PPC), Acting Superintendent Robert Baim recently unveiled the plans for their operations for the Easter period.
“We have a special operations order for the Easter long weekend in place, our policemen and women will be working tirelessly over the weekend,” assured the PPC
Baim also emphasized on the significance of Easter for Christians, stating that it is a time to celebrate the Savior’s victory and consider better life choices.
He stated, “It is a time to sit down and reflect on the kind of life we have lived in the past. Do we need to change for the better?”
“Easter is a time where we forgive and forget the past, and look forward to a new tomorrow where we must focus on achieving our goals.”
The police commander also stressed the need for attitude change and underscored the importance of respecting one another, upholding the rule of law and honoring the nation’s constitution.
“Let’s all be agents of change to bring back Madang to its glory days,” urged Baim.
Acknowledging that the police rely on community cooperation, Baim called for collective action to address the law and order issues in the province.
“Together we can make a difference. Let’s all reflect on our lives during this period, make changes in our communities and bring positive changes to our families.”
Nevertheless, PPC Baim also issued a stern warning to the public to behave this long Easter weekend because his officers will not tolerate people who break the law.
“Police will not tolerate anyone disturbing the peace within the community. We will be tough, and we will ensure that you face the full force of the law. Enough is enough,” PPC Baim stressed.
