Greenville, Sinoe County — The Liberia National Police (LNP) in Sinoe County is grappling with severe operational difficulties due to the lack of functional patrol vehicles, motorbikes, and other essential logistics, local police authorities have disclosed.
Sinoe County Police Superintendent, Augustine Warri, told local journalists that the police command has been operating without any government-provided mobility support for several years, significantly hampering law enforcement activities across the county. According to him, the last major logistical assistance received by the county police dates back to 2018 or 2019, during the tenure of former Police Commander Superintendent Doueue Goldoe.
Superintendent Warri explained that since he assumed office from his predecessor, Commander E. Wiggs W. Drunwillie Sr., the police in Sinoe County have not received a single patrol vehicle, motorbike, or other critical logistical support from the national government.
“At present, we have no functional vehicle or motorbike,” Warri said, noting that the situation has severely limited officers’ ability to respond promptly to emergencies, crimes, and other incidents, particularly in remote parts of the county.
Beyond transportation challenges, the Superintendent also highlighted persistent shortages of basic office equipment, including computers, printers, and stationery. He said these deficiencies are affecting record keeping, reporting, and the overall efficiency of police operations.
“Effective policing is not only about manpower; it also requires adequate logistics and basic working tools,” Warri emphasized.
The Sinoe County Police chief has therefore appealed to the Government of Liberia, led by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, to urgently intervene by providing vehicles, motorbikes, and essential office equipment to strengthen security and improve service delivery in the county.
