Magazines
At various times throughout its history the Royal Papua and New Guinea Constabulary and later the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary produced a number of Newsletters, Magazines and Reports in order to keep its members and the public informed of current events and changes in policy and law. A number of these publications were produced during the 1960's and 70's and provide a valuable insight to the researcher and Historian into the lives of the officer's of the time and the prevailing social conditions affecting police.
During the course of research a number of these have been located and have been scanned and are provided here as a means of ensuring their continuing availability to those with an interest in the Constabulary's history. They contain articles of both a personal and official nature including biographies, news of awards and promotions and in many cases photographs.
