Jiwaka Provincial Police Commander, Chief Inspector Albert Korin has commended the people of Jiwaka for their quiet observance of the country’s 48th independence over the weekend. PPC Korin stated that this all kick started on the 14th when they launched the police emergency toll free numbers and urged people to refrain from illegal activity. “Prior to independence we launched our police toll free numbers.” “This was witnessed by most stakeholders in the province where we urged the people to stay out of trouble.” Korin added that although there were no official independence celebrations, he was happy that the people were able to keep order of themselves. He stated that he would like this to remain the same and expressed that this is a good sign for positive things to come as the command works to set themselves up administratively. “Right now, we are trying to introduce a strong police structure to ensure that we have accountability and that our men are committed to their duties.” He added that police are looking to ensure that this is done before implementing their plans to transform the command.
