New Ireland PPC, Chief Inspector Felix Nebanat was highly commended for his SMART POLICING Concept by the new, NGI Assistant Commander Police (ACP), Perou N’dranou who was in the Province on Thursday.
ACP N’dranou was accorded the traditional Royal PNG Constabulary protocol of being received by the Guard of Honour Parade hosted by PPC Nebanat. N’dranou’s pioneer visit to New Ireland is part of his familiarization call, to ensure, he has a realistic overview of the state of Police affairs in each Province of the region.
N’dranou stated that, there are three things, he aims to achieve. The first priority on his list is “getting the basic fundamentals of Policing right again.”
“It doesn’t need money to achieve this priority, all it takes is for each and every single officer to do their job, and to do it right,” he said.
The 2nd priority is to have “zero tolerance to Public Nuisance while the 3RD priority is the “Public Stakeholders Partnership with Police.”
On that note, he commended PPC Nebanat for taking a proactive approach through the SMART Policing Concept which aligns perfectly with the regional focus areas that ACP N’dranou aims to achieve.
“This is the way forward, using whatever limited resources we have to come up with smart, innovative approaches to show that we can perform, that is the only way to attract partnership,” N’dranou stressed.
N’dranou was recently appointed as ACP NGI and New Ireland is the second Province that he is visiting apart from East New Britain (where he will be based) with plans to visit Manus and West New Britain in the near future.
Police and Rural station Commanders of rural post from Konos, Lakurumau and Taskul Police and Lihir Police stations were highly commended for travelling into Kavieng to meet their new ACP.
