Corrupt and undisciplined police officers will not be harboured as they have no place in the Force says Papua New Guinea's Deputy Commissioner of Administrations.

Raphael Huafolo said the PNG police, under the leadership of Commissioner Gari Baki, had done everything to ensure members of the constabulary were disciplined.
Mr Huafolo said since Commissioner Baki took over in 2015, he declared the three years following as "the years of discipline".
He said since within that time 250 staff had been dismissed from the force after recieving court convictions and through the internal disciplining process.
Mr Huafolo said action would continue against its members although dismissing undisciplined and corrupt members would affect the Constabulary's intention to raise the number of personnel up to 10,000 officers this year.
