“HIT AND RUN” 

It was the night of 15 Nov 2008 and the air was still.  The streets were quiet and there were few cars around though it was a Saturday night which is known to be busy.  The street was dark as the street lights were not functioning due to a blackout that started at 1900hrs.  Along the main street of Comoro Rd, a few pockets of youths were seen chatting by the side of the road.

At about 2328hrs, one of the Comoro patrols, Comoro 31, was alerted by the National Operations Centre to proceed to Comoro Road just past the Australian Embassy as there was a traffic accident that took place about 3 minutes ago.  Comoro 31 responded that they were proceeding from Banana Road.

Comoro 31, which consisted of 2 UNPOLs and 1 Timorese Police officer, hurried to the scene in vehicle number UN 764.  The Team Leader was UNPOL John Graham from New Zealand.  He was an experienced police officer with 20 years of service.

Upon arrival at the scene, Comoro 31 discovered that it was a hit and run accident with 2 pedestrians injured.  One was lying by the side of the road and another was seated on the kerb next to him.  Without any further delay, UNPOL Graham directed his patrol partner to summon for the ambulance.  UNPOL Graham then rendered first aid to the injured person who was lying on the road.  He also instructed the Timorese police colleague to enquire if there were any witnesses to the accident. 

The seriously injured victim, the one lying by the side of the road, was identified as Gonsalves Anthony Soares, 21 yrs old.  He was a second year business student at the University of Timor Leste and resided in Mandarin.  He sustained head injuries and was bleeding from his nose and ears.  It was also suspected that he fractured his right arm due to the deformity observed.  He was semi-conscious and was not responding to calls.  The other victim, Norbeto Julius Martins sustained bruises on his right knee due to falling after being pushed by Gonsalves when the vehicle was about to hit them. 

It was established that the 2 injured persons were walking along Comoro Road towards Norbeto’s house when they were hit by a red and white car with an unknown plate number.  The vehicle, which was believed to be a UN Police vehicle, hit a nearby lamp post after hitting them before it sped away after the accident.  There were fragments of broken orange glass found in the vicinity of the lamp post.  The fragments were believed to be from the signal light of the vehicle.

About 15 minutes later the ambulance arrived and conveyed the injured persons to the hospital.  It was later revealed that Gonsalves succumbed to his injuries and passed away whilst on the way to the hospital.  An eyewitness was identified and would be assisting police with the investigation.

“POLICE ACADEMY”

SITUATION REPORT # 01

At 10.00 hrs on 05 July 2004 the Chairman of the National Transitional Government of Liberia, Special Representative of the Secretary General and UNMIL Civilian Police Commissioner attended the ceremony of the reopening of the Liberian National Police Academy.  New training program was launched for the new police service of Liberia. The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) Civilian Police in collaboration with the Transitional Government aims to train 3,500 police officers within two years and to have 1,900 new officers fully operational by the time of the national elections, which would be held in October 2005. The launch of the training program makes a significant step forward in the development of a new police service for the country.  The civilian police Commissioner said at the launching ceremony, that it was the beginning of a new day for policing in Liberia. During civil war in Liberia the police force had become a part of the great tragedy that Liberia has suffered for 14 years. The initial 150 cadets - who include 50 serving members of the Liberian National Police and 100 new candidates selected through a massive recruitment campaign and later vetting process, are men and women from 13 of Liberia's 15 counties, representing 17 ethnic groups.

SITUATION REPORT #2

The training staff at the Academy is comprised of 44 UN civilian police officers (UNCIVPOL) from 17 countries in addition to Liberian instructors.

On 12 August 2004 UNMIL Civilian Police Chief of Staff visited Police Academy and spoke with cadets. The trainees were happy to have opportunity to take on the values of courage, to be trained by the team of International police instructors. The cadets wear blue uniform and receive necessary knowledge and physical training for future work.  The trainee from group number nine said that all cadets understand that after graduating from the Police Academy they must go out and earn the respect of the Liberian citizens in the streets by showing their readiness to serve the people. The UNMIL civilian police Chief of Staff said that 30 percent of the trainees after graduation would be deployed at the boarder close to Guinea and Ivory Coast.

SITUATION REPORT #3

Liberian police stations are still bad in shape. The UNMIL Police Commissioner had appealed to the donor countries for help. Donation is needed in areas of office equipment, chars, tables, typewriters, and computers. The first 150 Liberian cadets were released on 26 September 2004. The presently trained Liberian Police Service is required to carry side arms but the Police do not have enough pistols and ammunition. Donations of at least100 pistols would solve immediate need.  The Liberian National Police had only three patrol vehicles in its fleet by September 2004. Donation of five patrol cars would modernize their mobility problem. In the middle of September 2004 Nigerian Inspector General of Police paid official visit to Liberia and proposed to train 500 Liberian police officers to form special antiterrorist unit in the sister African country by February 2005.
