Police personnel with extra-marital affairs warned of losing housing-privilege

Married law enforcement officers in Lae, Papua New Guinea, have been issued a stern warning regarding their conduct in new police housing facilities. They are explicitly forbidden from bringing partners outside of their marriage into the ten newly built police houses.

These new residences were constructed under the Special Police Assistance Program. The directive clearly states that any police personnel found to be engaging in extra-marital affairs and involving those partners in the new housing will face repercussions. The primary consequence highlighted is the potential loss of their housing privilege.

This measure appears aimed at upholding a standard of discipline and ethical behavior within the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary. By enforcing rules against extra-marital relationships in official housing, authorities seek to maintain the integrity and reputation of the police force.
