Law enforcement in Madang has been strengthened with the addition of nine newly trained probationary constables. The fresh recruits were officially welcomed this week by Madang Provincial Police Commander, Superintendent Robert Baim, who highlighted the importance of the new officers in tackling crime and maintaining order. “They arrive at a crucial time. Their contribution will enhance policing and help us better respond to community needs,” Baim said. He acknowledged the ongoing efforts of Police Commissioner David Manning and the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC) leadership in addressing police staff shortages across the country. The new constables will be stationed at various locations around Madang, working alongside existing units to support daily police duties and community engagement. Baim said their deployment is part of wider efforts to increase police presence and improve safety across the province.
