The Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF) pays a visit to the Games Venue to get more insights in preparation for the Pacific Games 2023.
Police Media Unit says the RSIPF Security Planning Team and China Police Liaison Team (CPLT) visited different venues to map out security plans.
Assistant Commissioner (AC) National Operation Evelyn Thugea says the RSIPF and the CPLT team scope a plan to station security personnel when police deploy during the games.
She says the team has discovered many places that need adjustment before the actual event is going to happen.
“Our visit to the game’s venue gives us more insights in our preparation.
“We will work together with our stakeholders to fill in the security gaps before the actual event happens at the end of this year 2023.
“It is not easy but with the collaborative effort we establish from different stakeholders, we are confident that we can provide a safe environment for the PG23.
“Thank you for allowing us to come and take firsthand information from the Games Venue. This will help us in terms of security planning.
“This is the kind of cooperation encouraged to make things happen when we talk on security,” says AC Thugea.
Deputy Team Leader (DTL) Mr. XU Qu of CPLT says a more comprehensive view was gained by the security planning team with the introduction from Project Managers of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC).
DTL Mr. XU says the site visit is a continuation of the previous workshop on security event planning delivered by experts from CPLT.
“Based on the situation of the site, the two teams exchanged more on the security planning of the upcoming major event, including the very important people, security planning, crowd, traffic control, and arrangement of security manpower,” he says.
XU says the site visit marks a new stage for the cooperation between CPLT and RSIPF. CPLT is willing to contribute more to the safe and green PG23 via further cooperation with RSIPF.
