Stopping Warlords, Hiremen, Gun Smugglers and their Deadliest Illegal Weapons
ShieldPNG helps communities and authorities prevent attacks by taking six proven Shield Actions. The Shield System is an armed incident, information and stakeholder management system for communities at risk, law enforcement and others interested in preventing deadly violence.
- Empowers community members to intervene and prevent situations of armed violence in their communities.
- Tracks every reported killing and the response to each, including convictions. We show progress, comparisons and what’s working.  
- Gathers evidence and tip-offs of illicit armed activity, including possession of illicit assault rifles and explosives, gun smuggling, organising mass killings and activity of hiremen. 
- Compiles research and practical information on justice options regarding mass killings and tribal fighting in complex situations. 
- Enables effective seizure of illicit high-powered firearms, ammunition, and explosives. 
- Grows public support for reducing mass killings, including seizure of illicit high-powered firearms and justice for warlords and hiremen.
