LIBERIA NATIONAL POLICE TO ENFORCE NOISE POLLUTION REGULATIONS; ZONE COMMANDERS RECEIVE OPERATIONAL EQUIPMENT
Monrovia, Liberia – June 10, 2026 – The Liberia National Police (LNP) has announced the commencement of enhanced enforcement measures aimed at ensuring compliance with Liberia's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Noise Pollution Control and Standards Regulations.
The move is part of ongoing efforts to maintain public order, protect community well-being, and support environmental standards designed to safeguard public health and tranquility.
Speaking during a program to distribute operational equipment to Police Zone Commanders, the Commissioner for Operations, Prince T. Davis, received the equipment on behalf of the operational arm of the LNP and praised Inspector General of Police Gregory O. W. Coleman for his continued commitment to modernizing the Police and strengthening law enforcement capacity across the country.
Commissioner Davis stated that the equipment will be deployed strictly for its intended purpose of enhancing operational effectiveness, public safety, and enforcement activities.
"We commend the Inspector General for his visionary leadership and unwavering efforts to modernize the Liberia National Police.
The LNP emphasized that enforcement of noise pollution regulations will be conducted in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other relevant stakeholders.
According to Part III, Section 12 of the EPA Noise Pollution Control and Standards Regulations, public nuisance noise is prohibited, while Section 13 specifically regulates noise emanating from radios, televisions, sound systems, amplifiers, and other sound-producing devices. Additionally, Section 8 of the Regulations prohibits the generation of excessive noise and vibrations that disturb public peace, health, comfort, and community harmony. Violators may face enforcement actions, including warnings, citations, seizure of equipment, closure orders, fines, or prosecution in keeping with the law.
The Liberia National Police therefore calls on owners of entertainment centers, nightclubs, bars, religious institutions, event organizers, street DJs, and members of the public to ensure that their activities comply with established noise standards.
The LNP remains committed to creating safer and more peaceful communities while upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all citizens to enjoy a healthy and peaceful environment.
