Papua New Guinea's police commissioner says provincial and divisional police commanders will have support from HQ in managing potential hot-spots during the elections.
Gary Baki has called all divisional commanders for a meeting this week in Port Moresby for planning towards PNG's upcoming general elections in late June.
Commissioner Baki says that policing these elections in each province will be managed by provincial and divisional commanders, rather than from Moresby.
He spoke to Johnny Blades who asked him about a military and police call-out to the troubled Highlands province of Hela where police recently wrapped up a guns amnesty period.
