Police under the NCD Metropolitan Command just recently gathered as early as 3 AM on Saturday morning at Gerehu and walked all the way to Boroko Police HQ. Leading the walk, Metropolitan Commander Superintendent Silva Sika and his men and women in blue walked to advocate for peace and protection for every individual from violence and crime this festive season. Met. Supt. Sika said around this time of the year many violent crimes and criminal activities take place, but they want to ensure this festive season is different. “In the past, we experience chaos during Christmas & New Year so as a frontline policing agency, we need to lead by example to demonstrate that we want to share love, peace, law and order with everybody in the city,” said Met Sup Sika. He acknowledged those officers who walked with him, saying their participation shows that they do care for the wellbeing of citizens whom they are charged with the duty to protect. He also said this walk is not just a walk to advocate for peace but also a warning to citizens to abide by the law this festive season or else the police will not hesitate to come down hard on anyone who breaks the law. The walk for peace took place a day after the NCD Christmas Police Operation codenamed ‘Operation Silver Christmas & New Year’ was launched at Unagi Oval in Gordons.
