 Together with Mr Alistair MacDonald, Program Manager on HIV/AIDS for the PICP Secretariat, Bill Bowtell, Director of the HIV/AIDS Project, briefed the annual meeting of Pacific Islands Police Commissioners (PICP) on HIV/AIDS issues at their 35th Annual Conference held at Koror, Palau between 27-31 July 2006.
The PICP has entered into an agreement with UNAIDS to develop a regional program on HIV/AIDS awareness to police services in the Pacific. This program is the first regional program on HIV/AIDS awareness delivered to a disciplined service. The 2 year program, funded by UNAIDS, AusAID and NZAID will provide awareness and training to serving police members in the region and will assist Chiefs of Police to take a lead on HIV/AIDS issues both in their communities and regionally.
