The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) has taken a step forward in its community engagement capabilities with the launch of its Facebook page.
Commissioner of Police Matthew Varley said the the new Facebook page is an important addition in the RSIPF’s approach to engaging and collaborating with the community.
Mr. Varley said, “this is a step forward for the police force and is part of our crime prevention strategy. It’s a great opportunity for us to share with the communities some of the good work that had been done inside the RSIPF.”
“This Facebook page will allow the RSIPF to instantly connect with the community, listening to their opinions, concerns and comments”, Varley said.
“People can expect to see operationally-focused content, requests for assistance and information about our activities in the community.” Mr. Varley said.
“This is an important addition in our approach to engaging and collaborating with the community and I would encourage everyone to ‘like’ the new RSIPF Facebook page,” Commissioner said.
The page is all about engagement with the community; it will not be a place to report crime. If you require police attendance then the appropriate number to call is 23666 for a non-emergency response, or in the case of an emergency, 999.
