Auki police in Malaita Province lauds Bona community of West Kwaio, Malaita Province for their trust and confidence, and for working together with the police.
This appreciation comes after the successful launch of the police strategy to assist the Bona rural community and surrounding areas.
In an interview with Island Sun yesterday, Malaita Provincial Police Commander, Superintendent Michael Ramosaea, said community members were very excited about the strategy, because this means their community will be safer for everyone.
He said the strategy will help solve problems, focus on building trust, prevent crime, and improve the quality of life, rather than just reacting to incidents.
Superintendent Ramosaea said this initiative involves collaboration between law enforcement, residents, and organizations, transforming police departments to support community engagement and problem-solving through key components like partnerships, organizational change, and proactive problem-solving.
“On behalf of the police, I was very glad that the Bona Community wanted to work with the police.
“It is one of the principles of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force that police must work closely with the communities,” he said.
Superintendent Ramosaea said the successful launch at Bona Community has brought back trust and confidence in the police and it will cover the gap between the police and the community itself.
At the same time, he appeals to other communities in West Kwaio and in other areas in Malaita Province to do the same.
He said community policing will help the police to maintain law and order, safety for women and children, and prevent social activities that young people are often involved in.
