The Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC) is conducting a five-day workshop at Dixies Bungalow, Central Province, focusing on the Police Act Review and the roll-out of updated Constabulary Standing Orders (CSOs). The workshop, which began on Monday, 14th October and ends on 18th October 2024, involves senior officers from the Southern and Border Commands and the Police Regional Training Wing. The Assistant Commissioner of Policy and Planning, Rigga Neggi, explained that the workshop is “to consult members of the Constabulary on the review of the Police Act 1998” and roll out the fourth version of the CSOs, updated in 2022. Additionally, it aims to create awareness of the RPNGC Corporate Plan (2020-2030) and the importance of the Annual Management Report (AMR) while standardizing the RPNGC Activity Management Report format. Mr. Neggi stated that the goal is to establish “a clear and standardized framework of guidelines, procedures, and the principles of effective and lawful operation” of policing activities. Similar workshops will be held in Mt Hagen, Morobe Province, East New Britain, and Bougainville to cover all command regions of the country.
