280610ACP PUTS HIS FOOT DOWN
By Aloysius Laukai

Bougainville Police Chief ACP Thomas Eluh intends to improve the performance and credibility of the Bougainville Police Service.
And he has instructed all his Police Personnel to adhere to his latest instructions of face the sack.
ACP Thomas Eluh this week instructed that all Police members are not allowed to chew betel nut whilst in Police Uniform and anyone caught will be suspended.
He also instructed that all Police Cars must be pooled at the Police Station after hours to avoid the misuse of vehicles.
The ACP made these warnings at a police master parade last Friday.
The Bougainville Police Chief also stressed the importance of punctuality for both uniformed and civilian personnel adding that each and every member of the Bougainville Police Service must either shape up or ship out.

New Dawn FM understands that since Police Chief ELUH took office from outgoing ACP HUITONA TOHUA he has been trying his best to improve, discipline and build up a proper structure for the Bougainville Police Service as the service was loosing community support.

Like any organisation the Police Force has standards, rules and procedures. However, we must be mindful also, that the Police Force is only effective if the general public supports them with information, back up & support on law & order issues. The Chiefs and elders are there with strong traditional power.
Yes, Police Chief & restore some credibility and many of us are peace loving & we desire to have law & order.

Big words must be backed up by real action. If Thomas Eluh wants to win some credibility and community support for the force that he leads, he must show that he can also deliver the expected level of service.

We have a fugitive in hiding who goes by the name of Noah Musingku. He must arrested and brought to face justice immediately. This matter has been outstanding with Law enforcement Agencies especially the Police Force for far too long now.

Am so very glad that someone is making an attempt to clean up the image of the police officers. They are supposed to be seen as role models and authority figures but how can we consider this seeing them with a huge red mouth full of buai. The "Image" of police officers is poor and am happy that Mr Eluh is taking action against this and the misuse of police cars.
