Police officers in Tulagi, Central Islands Province (CIP) organized a Commissioning Service on 10 January 2018 before starting their programs for the year.
Supervising Provincial Police Commander, CIP, Inspector Hugo Maelasi says, “The Commissioning Service was to strengthen our officers’ spiritual life before we actually start implementing our program of action for this year 2018.”
“As officers we may have the physical strength to do our work but without the spiritual strength which comes from God almighty, we will not be able to achieve what we plan to do this year,” says PPC Maelasi.
The Commissioning Service was conducted by Christ the King Rector, Fr David Tinini and Deacon Andrew of the Anglican Church.
“During the Service, Fr David encouraged me and my officers to accept our calling as Police Officers as a gift from God to serve God’s people within the community,” says Supervising PPC Maelasi.
He adds: “I would like to appeal to my good officers serving in Tulagi and throughout the CIP to fear God while they serve the people of the Province.”
