A new transfer directive has been issued by the Commissioner for Police, David Manning for another reshuffle within the police command. In the directive perused by PNG HAUSBUNG, Commissioner Manning said it is an effort to rebuild and strengthen key commands across the country and aims to place the right people in the right roles at the right time to meet the evolving operational requirements of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC). This was evident in today's (Thursday, July 18) handover takeover ceremony for Border Command at the RPNGC headquarters at Konedobu in Port Moresby witnessed by staff officers from both Deputy Police Commissioners Administration and Operation. The directive further stated that in order to enhance command skill sets, the following transfers have been directed that: - Peter Philip, currently the Divisional Commander of the Border Command, will now serve as Assistant Commissioner for Police (ACP) Training at the National Centre of Excellence, Bomana; and that - Perou N'dranou, formerly the Divisional Commander of the New Guinea Islands Command, will take over as the new Divisional Commander for the Border Command. The directive further reveals that John Kolopen will be moving from ACP Traffic to ACP Training at the National Centre of Excellence, Bomana; and Naua Vanuawaru, currently ACP Training, will now serve as ACP Traffic. The directive states that the transferred members are required to assume their new commands as a priority, with all hand-over and take-over procedures to be completed no later than Wednesday, July 31st, 2024. The significance of these transfers is for the continued success and operational efficiency of the RPNGC. "It is crucial that we build upon our strengths and ensure that we have the right people in the right roles at the right time.” Commissioner Manning had reported stated earlier this year following the first reshuffle of key commands. These strategic transfers are part of a broader initiative to rebuild and enhance the effectiveness of key commands within the RPNGC, ensuring the organization is well-prepared to face future challenges.
