The national government through the Ministry of Police, National Security and Correctional Services (MPNSCS) has made significant progress in carrying out key reforms to strengthen national security, law and order, and public safety.
The Government Communication Unit (GCU) in a statement over the weekend said a quarterly brief from the ministry highlighted key achievements including the launch of the National Security Strategy (2025–2028) and the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) 10-Year Strategic Direction (2026–2036).
GCU also outlined other initiatives like the Police Capability and Capacity Roadmap that is being implemented with the expansion of specialized units and rollout of the Crime Prevention Strategy (2023–2027).
To add on, the statement said major legislative reforms are advancing, including a review of the Police Act 2013 and the Correctional Services Act 2007 and border security is a priority, with the development of border outposts and strengthened coordination with support from the Australian Government.
The Ministerial brief also said that for this year, they will focus on finalising key legislation, advancing infrastructure development, and strengthening border management systems.
The statement said the government remains committed to ensuring a safe, secure and unified Solomon Islands for all citizens.
