Cheek Security

NG Police Will Cheek Security

A section of the Royal Papua- New Guinea Constabulary is to be especially concerned with problems of internal security in the Territory, and the force is to be strengthened.

The Australian Minister for Territories, Mr. Hasluck, told Parliament this on May 22, ad ding that the Constabulary would be created as a separate body and be directly responsible to the Administrator.

Port Moresby reports say that much of the increased strength of the RPNC will be used in staffing new police stations in outlying areas, to take over the responsibility of law and justice which for years have been handled by Native Affairs field staff.
