Police and Public Relationship in PNG is at Stake

​Over the last decade, weak, defenseless and unarmed members of the general public have developed extreme fear with members of the Royal Papua New Guinea Polic Force.

Not only the harmless ordinary citizens but to a greater extend the members of the PNG Defense Force and top CEOs, highly educated Papua New Guineans and even the foreigners or the tourists have already developed hatred and fear with members of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary.

As far as everyone is concerned, this fear and hatred is caused due to the unprofessional and unethical conduct shown to the public by members of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary

Why ordinary citizens are fearing the members of the Royal Papua New Guinea Cinstabulary?? Police have created a N0 1 enemy in their lives and that is none other than the people and the general public they are said to provide safety and security to.

This trend is created by the membersof the Police Force's own behaviour. They become more robotic, act in criminal manners, showing hitman syles as if they are on the battlefields in the Middle East fighting against the Taliban Forces.

The weapons used in public by the police are are even a greatest threat to any one, both nationals and foreigners. They act and appear as if they are soldiers who have just returned from a war.

The Honorable Minister for Police and the Commissioner for Police should waste no time in addressing this situation by aligning a strategic planning and approach in order to restore the public confidence that has been lost in our Police Force and to restore the pride of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary. The Police Force is turning into a government institutions employing criminals to suppress, deny, threat and abuse the "rights" of the citizens and non citizens in our country.

Brutality by Police must not be seen as remedy to one's attitude problem. You can not fix an attitude problem with another attitude problem. No it does not work. May be Police start strictly upholding the Law to its fullest the right way and see to it that offenders face the full force of law to its fullest without brutality. I believe we have tough laws in place but the problematic part is how they are being impose by police as first responders to crimes.

Continuous police brutality and unprofessional conduct against civilians has developed hatred to prey against them (police). More police officers will loose their lives in the hands of civilians which is a bad trend ...the pride n respect of the constabulary by its citizens is no longer there, instead the constabulary has been seen as Public Enemy N01.
