Auki
The Auki police officers, along with the Malaita provincial security officers, are working together to ensure that Auki town is safe leading up to the festive season.
The operation started last week and is mainly aimed at reducing the behaviour and attitude associated with alcohol consumption that usually occurs during the festive season.
Malaita Provincial Police Commander, Superintendent Michael Ramosaea, said that the operation began last week and will end next year.
He said that every day they patrol Auki town and beyond. He said that with Christmas and New Year celebrations approaching, they will ensure that people can move freely and safely.
“Our operation started last week, and our aim is to cause no harm to anyone, but for everyone to enjoy their Christmas safely,” he said.
“We don’t want a celebration that will lead to someone being hospitalized and sad afterward. So, we try our best to make sure everyone is safe,” he said.
PPC Ramosaea is also appealing to the public of Auki to respect the law and refrain from social activities that can disturb your neighbors.
He stated that anyone found drinking alcohol in Auki town or at home and causing a disturbance will be arrested by the police and charged.
“I call upon my beloved brothers who have a habit of drinking in Auki to please pay for your beer and drink it at home. Once we see anyone drinking in town, we will arrest them on the spot, and they will not be released,” he added.
