The Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF) National Community Policing Team and the Media Unit participated in the ‘Carols in the Islands’ festival held at Lawson Tama Stadium in Honiara on 9 December 2017.

During the festival, the National Community Policing Team and Media Unit conducted awareness talks on different issues focusing on the Family Protection Act including sexual, physical, emotional and economic abuse.

Commanders and leaders of the three Honiara City Command Zones of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force attended a three-day workshop from 5 – 7 December that will help them implement the Crime Prevention Strategy.

The theme of the workshop was, “Your command, your community, your problem – your solution together”

The workshop was designed to the best practice model of operationalizing the Crime Prevention Strategy and is the pilot model that will roll out to the provinces in 2018 and beyond.

“I came into the force because I wanted a job that can challenge me, and I wanted to do a job worthwhile in helping others to make a difference and provide a better life for my fellow citizens,” says Sergeant Ronald Chite of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force.

Thirty-three-year old Sergeant Chite is from Western and Choiseul provinces and has served in the RSIPF for 10 years.

Three fishermen from Lilisiana Village near Auki in the Malaita Province have been found safe after drifting at sea since Saturday 2 December when their outboard motor engine broke down while fishing at Ramos Island between Ngella and North Malaita.

“The three fishermen drifted after their engine broke down and were not found until the afternoon of Monday 4 December, when another boat from Lilisiana Village which participated in the search located them at the Anuha Island on north Big Ngella,” says Supervising Provincial Police Commander, Central Islands Province, Hugo Maelasi.
