The Ministry of Police and Prisons have taken their mission to the virtual realm, with the launch of their new website on the 28th of last month.

As one of the few remaining government entities without an online presence, the Ministry of Police has long been overdue to establish an online site to meet the needs of the community, as well as assist in the dissemination of important information regarding programs and updates relevant to the ministry.

Police Commissioner Lilomaiava Fou Taioalo formally launched the website and acknowledged the efforts of ministry personnel who were responsible for setting it up.

“We undertook to set up this site, in order to move in the same direction as the government in terms of improving lines of communication by using more modern technologies.�?

“This website is a way for this ministry to publish and publicise our work, for the information of the public and any interested parties.�?

Specifically, the Commissioner noted that the website will function as a point of reference for details pertaining to:

•     Police Policy and Procedures

•     Target and purpose of the Ministry

•     Responsibility and Mission of the Police

•     Services provided by the different departments

“This information will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – not only for our local community but the global community as well- and with the instantaneous nature of the internet, updates concerning any program or project can be dispersed easily and quickly.
