The Boroko Police Prosecutions Unit’s morale was boosted this week when Police Commissioner David Manning presented a brand new 15-seater bus to the unit.
The unit has been experiencing transportation problems in the recent past and this has affected their performance at times causing members of the unit to go late to court or even miss court sessions altogether.
Commissioner Manning said, “Going to court and successfully prosecuting our cases is what policing is all about. Apprehending criminals is one part of our job.
If we do not go to court on time or at all then the hard work we have done in capturing suspects will all be in vain and criminals will walk the streets free to commit crime again.
“That is why the police management was quick to respond to the unit’s request for a new vehicle. But I will caution the members to use the vehicle for its intended purpose. Abuses will not be tolerated and will be severely dealt with. Look after the asset and it will in turn make your job easier.”
Commander NCD/Central, Assistant Commissioner Anthony Wagambie thanked the Commissioner for the vehicle and promised that the bus will be well looked after.
