The newly appointed Provincial Police Commander for Rennell-Bellona Province, Inspector Aloysio Manegaua has commenced policing activities in the province after taking up his appointment just a couple of weeks ago.
“Policing work in that province had been affected in the past several months due to certain issues but with the appointment of the new PPC, he has started working on activities to rebuild the confidence of the communities in that province in the RSIPF,” says Assistant Commissioner of Police, Provincial, Joseph Manelugu.
“Despite the challenge of communication between Renbel and Honiara, the new PPC has sent his first report outlining some of the activities he has been able to achieve in his first couple of week,” says ACP Manelugu.
Mr Manelugu adds: “With the assistance of his officers, the new PPC has resolved four civil cases, conducted nine high visibility patrols, nine beat patrols, seven vehicle patrols and five police patrols of the Tingoa airfield. Police are also investigating a recent arson case and continuing to provide high visibility presence at a Christmas sports tournament underway in the island. All these activities have happened on Rennell Island.”
“With the recent arrival of a new boat and an OBM engine, the new PPC and his officers will be able to travel to nearby Bellona Island to continue their work in the communities there,” says ACP Manelugu.
“As ACP Provincial I want to call on communities on Rennell and Bellona islands to support the work of the new PPC and his officers as they move around to carry out activities to prevent crime in that Province,” says Mr Manelugu
