Public Destruction of State-owned Weapons

The RPNGC does occasionally destroy seized crime guns and other weapons. AFP also helped dispose of more than 100 firearms from the RPNGC evidence room at Bomana police college.

Under the Australian-led Defence Cooperation Programme, nearly 4,000 military small arms and explosives were destroyed in 2003.

As ongoing audits of police, defence, and prison stockpiles throw up more weapons for destruction, the public relations potential of destruction ceremonies should not be overlooked.
