02.01.2022 It is with great sadness that DFA acknowledges the sudden passing of the Acting Director of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary's Police Dog Unit, Senior Inspector Leuth Nidung. Leuth was instrumental in facilitating the successful training and development of the RPNGC Dogs and Handlers for the Australia Papua New Guinea Policing Partnership's preparation for the 2018 APEC Summit in Port Moresby. Following the APEC Summit, Leuth significantly assisted DFA's collaboration ...with the AFP in facilitating the ongoing training and development of the RPNGC Dog Unit which has ultimately provided his country with an invaluable law enforcement resource. DFA wishes to express our sincere condolences to Leuth's family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time. RIP Senior Inspector Leuth Nidung. A fine and dedicated policeman.
