Acting Commissioner of the Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF) Mathias Lenialu has called on any victim of the alleged police misconduct at Gold Ridge to come forward with evidence and report it to the Professional Standards Internal Investigation Department (PSII).
The call came after allegations were levelled against police for heavy-handedness that triggered the unrest at GRML recently, a police statement yesterday said.
The place to report those allegations against police officers is at PSII located at Central Police Station, the statement said.
“Report it so that further investigation is conducted for a proper decision to be made to deal with any officers involved.
“Reporting such to the media is a democratic right of an individual, but it will be more helpful for those victims to come forward and make a formal complaint to PSII,” the police statement said.
Acting Commissioner Lenialu said the RSIPF is a neutral, transparent, and disciplined organisation that always upholds its core values to keep its integrity when making decisions on such allegations.
“This commitment to integrity ensures that the RSIPF maintains community trust and confidence. By prioritising accountability and fairness, the organisation aims to foster a safer environment for our people through its services,” Mr Lenialu said.
