THE Australian Federal Police Specialist Response Group (SRG) is providing the Participating Police Force (PPF) with highly trained tactical police capability.

And the Minister for Police, National Security and Correctional Services Chris Laore yesterday visited RAMSI base at Henderson to inspect its facilities and to see firsthand a demonstration.

The PFF Commander Paul Osborne said the types of security capabilities that the PPF regularly provides in support of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) and its operations in Honiara and the provinces are of the highest standard.

Specialist Response Group provides the PPF with the ability to deliver a wide range of capabilities in support of the RSIPF.

These include public order management, search and rescue, disaster response, tactical intelligence, trained police negotiators, maritime policing functions and tactical operations in high risk situations.

Mr Osborne stated that the SRG also provided certain high tech equipment that is superior to and unequally by any other police or military unit that operates here.
