Crime against persons top Solomon Islands Police 2017 statistics

Update: 8:18PM SOLOMON Islands: THE Royal Solomon Islands Police Force’s Crime Records Office recorded a total of 5457 criminal cases throughout the country in 2017.

Crime against persons topped the list with 1812 reports.

Statute offences numbered 1683; crime against property – 1430; public morality – 120 cases; and 412 cases of crime against lawful authority.

“2017 has been a challenging year for the RSIPF organisation due to the high number of reported cases in and around the provinces compared to limited resources available to support the delivery of policing,” RSIPF Assistant Commissioner Crime Ian Vaevaso said.

“There are a good number of detection, and still, there is a good number of cases which are still under investigations, and not to mention cases reconciled or addressed outside of court process,” AC Vaevaso said.

“The Crime portfolio is working hard to improve the capability of investigation in the RSIPF to ensure that cases are properly investigated to standards required by law.

“Crime is an ongoing issue in the country, and only if we share the responsibility and working together, we can curb criminal activities from having an adverse impact in our country.”
