Three police entities have successfully conducted a youth-focused community outreach programme at the Tina Community in Central Guadalcanal.
They are the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force, (RSIPF), China Police Liaison Team, (CPLT) and the New Zealand Police, (NZP).
The outreach focused on drug prevention and the fight against domestic violence with the theme “To uphold belief and virtues”, a statement by RSIPF yesterday said.
During the session, officers from the Crime Prevention committees engaged directly with community representatives to provide professional guidance and respond to various concerns raised by the local youth and leaders, the statement said.
Superintendent Lin Qifeng talked on traditional Chinese values based on the theme.
Superintendent Lin encouraged the participants to foster strong moral character and integrity as a foundation to reject illicit drugs and maintain peaceful, violence-free homes.
He donated schoolbags, pencil cases, and torches to students and Crime Prevention Committee members as a gesture of support for their educational pursuits and community safety efforts after the formal sessions.
Representing the community, a local youth representative expressed sincere appreciation to the RSIPF and the CPLT for their generous support and for prioritising the wellbeing of Tina community.
The RSIPF, alongside its partners from the CPLT and NZP, pledged their commitment to work closely with communities across the Solomon Islands to strengthen local policing partnerships and promote a safer, more secure environment for all.
