RSIPF and CPLT work closely with the Fighter One community to launch the construction of SI-China Police Cooperation Model Communities.

The National Crime Prevention Department (NCPD) of the Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF), together with the China Police Liaison Team (CPLT), has launched the Fighter One community for the construction of the Solomon Island (SI)-China Police Cooperation Model Communities recently.

CPLT member Superintendent Zhangpeng said the SI-China Police Cooperation Model Community is a community-building activity jointly carried out by RSIPF and CPLT.

Inspector Lin Jiamu said its aim is to guide SI communities well based on the Chinese community governance experience—the "Fengqiao Experience"—and to better enhance their capabilities in collecting basic community information, population management, self-protection, and resolving conflicts and disputes on their own so as to obtain a safer community environment.

“Currently, the Fighter One community is the first attempt, and it will be expanded to a larger area across the country in the future, thereby comprehensively enhancing the community management capabilities and safety levels,” said Mr. Jiamu.

Superintendent Zhang Yuanyuan said, “Fighter One Community, as a young and new community, has vast resources and a large population, with good prospects for community development. Therefore, it was jointly selected by RSIPF and CPLT as a model community for police cooperation between SI and China.”

CPLT explained the core of community policing work, population management, trained skills such as filling out household registration cards and population information cards, drawing community maps, and collecting fingerprints and palm prints, and shared the Fengqiao experience of community policing management from China.

CPLT also donated items like briefcases, volunteer uniforms, and other materials to the community to make their work easier. The residents actively participated in the interactive session and were full of expectations for the construction of the model community.

Officer In-Charge, Community Policing Office, Honiara City, Police Constable (PC) Joel Saumanu emphasized the importance of self-management for the community by local people, explaining the related methods and skills.

PC Saumanu said under the guidance of RSIPF and CPLT, the Fighter One community will solidify the basic information data of the community, enhance security precautions, and strive to build a model community that can be replicated nationwide.

A leader from the Fighter One community, Mr. Andrew Nihopara, acknowledged the RSIPF and CPLT for coming to their community to guide them. This is extremely important for peace and prosperity.
