RSIPF and CPLT conduct community outreach activity in Adaliue Community

To foster stronger connections with local residents and promote public safety during the festive season, a vibrant community outreach activity was successfully held by the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) and China Police Liaison Team (CPLT) recently.

The event brought together officers, local leaders, and community members for awareness talks, cultural exchange, and recreational activities with the aim of creating a harmonious community while raising awareness about family violence, reckless drinking during holidays, drugs, and emerging issues.

RSIPF Assistant Commissioner (AC) Mr. Simpson Pogeava acknowledged the significance of community policing, sharing insights and practices he learnt from other countries and relating them to the history of community policing in the Solomon Islands.

AC Pogeava encouraged the community members to look after each other and work with police for consultation and negotiation to make a more organised community. We need to take ownership to solve our own problems.

CPLT Commissioner Mr. Liu Shenghuang recalled the bond between the CPLT and the Adaliue community and thanked the community chiefs, leaders, and members for their active engagement, hospitality, and friendship.

He continued to reiterate the commitment to supporting RSIPF in community policing and crime prevention.

RSIPF National Crime Prevention Department (NCPD) Deputy Director Staff Sergeant Raymond Togapada, RSIPF officers, and CPLT officers elaborated on safety tips during the holiday season.

During the program, sports item donation, calligraphy demonstration, movie screening, and volleyball games were organised to deepen community bonds.

RSIPF and CPLT took the opportunity to convey their heartfelt festive wishes, wishing the community a Merry Christmas and a joyful festive season.
