Police in the Moresby South electorate of the National Capital District (NCD) now have no excuse to not attend to incidents, thanks to the huge boost to their logistical capability with 7 brand new vehicles, procured by the Moresby South District Development Authority (DDA) and co-funded by the National Capital District Commission (NCDC).
All vehicles were purchased at a total cost of K1million and were officially received by the NCD Metropolitan Superintendent, Silva Sika at the Moresby South Stadium yesterday, Saturday 17th June.
The Met. Supt. stated that it was a very significant occasion for the people of Moresby South and extended his sincere heartfelt thank you to the Moresby South DDA and the office of the governor for their support towards the NCD Command.
Sika stated that it has become a challenge to deal with crime in the city, especially when resources are limited.
Now with the new vehicles, Sika expressed that this will be pivotal to increased police presence in the district and visibility of police in the community as a deterrence to crime.
“To maximize your performance, I want to see visibility and it’s going to be 24 hours non-stop. That’s the kind of police force and the mindset I want to see.”
He stressed that police must be disciplined and use these resources wisely, as they were brought forth from public funds to cater for the public’s need for effective policing.
