China Police Liaison Team (CPLT) and Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF) conducted a Joint Mock Exercise of Digital Very High Frequency(VHF)Communication System.

The officers simulated the use of VHF handheld radios and long distance radios in three scenarios: routine communication, emergency contact and point-to-point call, after receiving training from CPLT at the Rove Police Headquarters.

Karen on behalf of the Solomon Island (SI) Government and MPNSCS thanked the Ministry of Public Security of China for the timely and effective support to RSIPF in terms of this major cooperation.

Ms Karen was impressed by the new development we have in terms of enhancing capability of RSIPF. "Communication is an important part of policing. Over the years, we have tried to resource communication capability within RSIPF, but we are slow and struggling. With the assistance of CPLT led by Commissioner Zhang, it’s really another step forward to modernize the capability we really need."

CPLT Team Leader, Commissioner Zhang said today’s brief and mock exercise is of significant importance for RSIPF because it marks the application of a new communication system, the digital VHF communication system which was assisted by the Ministry of Public Security of China.”

The system can be used by different departments of the RSIPF and police stations as it will enable police officers to communicate efficiently and effectively during their daily work and important operations. It is also a strong support for the command and control of the security of Pacific Games 2023.
