POLICE have reassured residents of Port Moresby of their safety and security in the aftermath of tension between the constabulary and military. National Capital District-Central Assistant Police Commission Jerry Frank urged people to stay calm and carry on with their daily activities as normal. He warned criminal elements hoping to take advantage of any civil unrest that police would be on to them quickly. Shops in the city, which closed down after a threat on Monday on a possible uprising, have reopened for business. Only one supermarket which was raided by opportunists last Saturday, needs about two weeks to do a proper stock-take to find out how much goods and items were removed before reopening. Frank said police were “on top” of the situation to ensure the safety of business and public safety was guaranteed. “The situation has been contained. There will be police presence everywhere,” he said. “Because of the weekend’s incident, extra manpower has been called in. “Residents are encouraged to enjoy the festive season and take part in activities staged in the city annually.” He said police would not tolerate disorderly behaviour and drunkenness. He said business houses should operate normally without any fear because their closure would affect residents and the economy as a whole during the festive season. Police operations in the NCD and Central will be launched this week to cover the Christmas and New Year period.National Capital District-Central Assistant Police Commission Jerry Frank urged people to stay calm and carry on with their daily activities as normal.He warned criminal elements hoping to take advantage of any civil unrest that police would be on to them quickly.Shops in the city, which closed down after a threat on Monday on a possible uprising, have reopened for business.Only one supermarket which was raided by opportunists last Saturday, needs about two weeks to do a proper stock-take to find out how much goods and items were removed before reopening.Frank said police were “on top” of the situation to ensure the safety of business and public safety was guaranteed. “The situation has been contained.
