A NUMBER of Honiara-based police officers have been deployed to Auki, Malaita Province early this week for the main celebration to mark the province’s 41st Second Appointed Day today.
The Honiara-based officers arrived on Monday to support Auki police during the Second Appointed Day celebration.
Upon their arrival, they were briefed by Provincial Police Commander (PPC) Malaita Province, Chief Superintendent Tex Tafoa.
The Honiara-based officers include Police Response Team, Central Response Unit, National Traffic Department and Police Band.
PPC Tafoa said, “we have a task ahead of us for the second appointed day and let us make this day a crime free for our people to celebrate without any disturbances.
“A high-level delegation is here with us in Auki and we must perform to the expected mandate vested on us.
“I would like to appeal to our good loving people of Malaita who will come to Auki for the second appointed day to celebrate responsibly,” he added.
PPC Tafoa has reminded the people of Malaita that police will not tolerate any unwanted behaviours during the mini trade show up to the actual second appointed day.
