THE widow of the late Sgt David Hale who was gunned down in Hela while on duty has been assured her eight children will be looked after by an insurance scheme called Police Legacy.
The message was relayed to her by Assist Comm of Police (human resource division) Sylvester Kalaut.
Kalaut, who looks after the welfare and general well-being of police officers, visited Cellina David and her family in Tari last weekend.
He was accompanied by Hela police commander Chief Inspector Ignas Augwi and deputy provincial administrator Eddy Yuwi.
He passed the police force’s gratitude to Sgt Hale for “serving the police force and the country, working under very difficult and treacherous circumstances” for 23 years.
He also gave the widow life insurance entitlements and haus krai contributions from the insurer and the late Hale’s comrades.
Kalaut started the insurance scheme in 2016 which covers more than 7,000 police officers in the constabulary.
He said they acted quickly in Hale’s case because of the “circumstances surrounding his death”.
“The constabulary has a scheme called the Police Legacy, which will cater for the school-aged children of the deceased police officer,” he said.
Kalaut hailed Hale as a “true hero killed in the line of duty”.
Sgt Hale is survived by his widow and eight children.
