Police Commissioner David Manning has announced that a major Police reshuffle will be made soon based on individual performances of police officers.
Commissioner Manning made this announcement during the 2022 National General Election Debrief Conference held in Lae, Morobe Province last week.
The conference was attended by Deputy Commissioner Operation Anton Billie, Deputy Commissioner Administration Joanne Clarkson, acting Deputy Commissioner Specialist Operations Donald Yamasombi, Deputy Commissioner and Chief of Bougainville Police Service Francis Tokura, all Assistant Commissioners, Divisional and Provincial Police Commanders and Directors of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary.
Mr Manning said, “This election was also an alternative way to assess your level of command, control and leadership skills in your respective commands. In the coming weeks there will be hard but fair decisions to be made.”
Mr Manning said that there will be a reviewed commitment to better support command and demand for greater performances from them.
He said the RPNGC is in the face of rebuilding and as an organisation is embarking on a 10-year plan to transition into an organisation that is aspiring to be led and managed by competent people to bring about a Police force that is effective, efficient and readily available to meet the challenge of the people.
“Neither I nor the current executives are at the benefit of these reforms. We are very much aware that it is very much to be enjoyed by our successors five to ten years in the future.
“What we do collectively now in our time is very critical for the change. Consistent with this, the evaluation of our performance is on-going.
“My intent for the new year will be released via the Commissioner’s Circular in November this year. I encourage you all to familiarize yourself with it and context it in delivering your end of year parades.
“The importance of this evaluation process and reshuffle is key to our success, it is key to rebuilding the force. All of us here are very much part of the transition,” Commissioner Manning said.
Mr Manning further acknowledged Mr Francis Tokura, Deputy Police Commissioner and Chief of Bougainville Police Service and Mr Peter Guinness, Commander Northern, for their service.
“This is probably your last election debrief and so on behalf of the RPNGC I acknowledge your continuity, dedication and loyalty to the organisation thus far and we wish you well in your future endeavours,” Mr Manning concluded.
