The Ministry of Police, National Security and Correctional Services (MPNSCS) has launched its 2025–2028 Corporate Plan, a “living document” that will actively guide decisions, reforms, and investments over the next three years – a period that will culminate in Solomon Islands’ 50th Independence anniversary.
Acting Permanent Secretary Julia Twumasi described the Plan as more than a reference document, saying it will actively shape how the Ministry operates and delivers services to the public, a statement by the MPNSCS yesterday said.
“As our nation reaches this important milestone, our institutions must continue to grow in professionalism, capability, and accountability,
“This Corporate Plan reflects our commitment to that journey and sets a clear direction for a stronger Ministry that delivers meaningful results for our people,” Ms Twumasi said.
She noted that the Plan’s implementation period is particularly significant as it concludes in 2028, coinciding with the golden anniversary of Solomon Islands’ Independence.
The Plan was officially launched by Minister John Tuhaika Jr, who said it provides a clear roadmap for how the Ministry will respond to emerging security challenges while ensuring programmes and resources remain aligned with the National Development Strategy, National Security Strategy, and Government priorities.
“The Corporate Plan provides a clear roadmap for how the Ministry will respond to emerging security challenges while ensuring our programmes, resources, and efforts remain aligned with the National Development Strategy, National Security Strategy, and Government priorities,” the Minister said.
According to the press statement, the Corporate Plan identifies eight strategic priorities that will guide the Ministry’s work from 2025 to 2028, which includes, Strengthening workforce capability and leadership, Improving financial management and accountability, Enhancing infrastructure and logistical support, Strengthening policy development and performance management, Improving border and maritime security, Enhancing national security coordination, Addressing unexploded ordnance (UXO) risks and emerging threats, and Advancing institutional reform through community safety initiatives and strategic partnerships.
The Minister emphasised that achieving these priorities will require strong leadership, innovation, accountability, and collaboration across government agencies, communities, development partners, and the broader security sector.
Deputy Secretary of Policy and Planning, George Bogese, acknowledged the Minister’s leadership and commended the Acting Permanent Secretary, Deputy Secretaries, senior executives, and the Planning and Policy Division for their dedication throughout the Plan’s development.
He also recognised the contributions of all Ministry divisions, staff, and stakeholders who participated in consultations, noting that their collective efforts had strengthened both the quality and direction of the document.
Mr Bogese said the Plan provides a practical framework to support the work of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force and Correctional Services Solomon Islands, while promoting coordinated, effective, and people-centred service delivery.
With the Corporate Plan now active, the Ministry says it will focus on implementing its strategic priorities to strengthen national resilience, enhance public confidence, and contribute to a peaceful and secure Solomon Islands as the nation approaches its golden anniversary in 2028.
