The Office of the Commissioner of the Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF) has announced that there is no such thing as a $100 fast-fee for police clearance.

A statement from the RSIPF yesterday said this notification comes after the RSIPF Commissioner’s office received complaints about an allegation of a $100 fast fee for police clearance.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) National Security Operation Support (NSOS) Ian Vaevaso reminds public that there is no such thing as a $100 fast fee to be paid for police clearance.

Vaevaso in explaining the process required for obtaining a police clearance said the normal process is that you will have to fill out a police form, go to the Ministry of Finance and Treasury, and pay an amount of $98.00 and from there they will give you two receipts.

“When you receive your two receipts, go back to the police clearance office, give them the receipt, and then they will process your police clearance but not the $100.

Vaevaso further cautions and reminds the public that if someone from the police clearance office obtains the $100 fast fee from you, report it to the Commissioner of Police office or to the Professional Standard Internal Investigation Department for dealings and disciplinary action.

The RSIPF statement confirms that instruction has been given to the police clearance office regarding the matter.
