Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary

District & Provincial Police Development Plan

Commissioner’s Message
I
released the Police Commissioner’s intent for the
2023 in December last year. In my intent I declared
2023 as the “Year of Law and Order”, consistent
with the intentions of the Government. There are
three key areas of focus for the Royal Papua New
Guinea Constabulary for 2023 and going forward
and these are:
• Growing and improving the RPNGC;
• Building a safer Papua New Guinea;
• Strengthening Partnership, Government and
Accountability; and
• Infrastructure Development.
My intent is to provide every Papua New Guinean
visible indicators that policing services are being
delivered. Disciplined Police personnel, that are
well-presented and organised, using modern
technology provide greater efficiencies, have
increased accountability, and most importantly
improve police responses.
National Police HQ will drive accountability and
integrity from the top down to every police officer.
This includes Police Headquarters and Police
Stations across PNG holding a monthly parade
where the Commander will assess presentation,
attendance and reminds frontline Police of their
responsibilities. The Corporate Plan 2021 –
2023 is road map that the Constabulary drives
its development agendas. Other intervention
Police strategies such as PREP – Police Reform
Enhancement Program through Special Police
Assistance Program that is adding more value to
the force advancement.
The RPNGC is working with strategic partners to
stand-up emergency help lines and general inquiry
lines in every Provincial Command. A Strategic
Partnership Engagement Unit has been established
at the Police Headquarters to enhance and
strengthen the collaboration bilateral partners and
line agencies.
The National Police Headquarters will monitor
the frequency of calls and continue to enhance
responses with local Police Commanders.
Overall, public accountability will be every Police
Commander’s top priority as compliance will be
monitored and performance managed. Below are
the Provincial and District Police Development Plan
for public information and for a holistic approach in
delivering a robust and community-oriented police
service through partnership. Mr David Manning, MBE, OStJ, DPS, QPM
Commissioner of Police
