WHILE the rest of the city enjoyed the festive season and the New Year- 600 men and women of the Royal Constabulary’s NCD Command were working throughout the period to ensure a safe Port Moresby.
Commander of NCD police Metropolitan Superintendent Andy Bawa, along with his command officers came good in recognizing the families and fellow law enforcers from Correctional Services by distributing a total of 17 cows throughout police barracks in and around the city along with Bomana prison and its warders.
“We have gone around to all the police barracks to say thank you to all the families of policemen and women to say thank you for all the support they have given them during the festive operations period to keep the community safe,” Mr Bawa told families at the Tasion police barracks at Gerehu.
“We want to acknowledge that effort which was shown with the city having one of safest festive periods in a long time.”
“It was almost to a sense that everyone had left the city with suburbs and settlements empty on the streets.”
He said that it was not only a result of the Police men and women but also of the support given by wives and children.
“I have said thank you to all my officers with little tokens given through the generosity of the governor of the city which I had distributed throughout the stations,” he said.
“But I thought that it is just as important that our mothers are so vital in our profession of policing- they prepare the breakfast, clothes- they shine my officers up and they come to work.”
“That is why we recognize you and we have initiated this as our way of appreciated your role in our work.”
He told them to maintain their full support to their spouses in order for bigger and better things for them in the years ahead.
Families on hand to receive the meat acknowledged the presence of the commander, adding that it was the first time for something like that to be done.
