The Deputy Police Commissioner, Walter Kola, says the extra police numbers follow threats of a riot.
Solomon Island Broadcasting says Lusibaea has pleaded guilty to a count of unlawful wounding of another person and one count of assaulting a police officer in the execution of his duties.
The charges relate to an attack in September 2000 when Lusibaea shot an already unconscious man in each knee and then assaulted a Police Officer at the National Referral Hospital.
