Chew calls for support

Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew has called on all Fijians to support the Fiji Police Force as they move forward under a new leadership.

He also assured all Fijians their focus was to ensure the safety and security of all Fijians and visitors in the country.

“We will continue to engage and work on strengthening community policing approaches under the Duavata Community Policing, as we recognise that the most effective way of tackling crime herein lies with our fellow Fijians, law enforcement partners and civil society,” he said in a statement.

“I am honoured and thankful for the appointment and have provided my assurances that it’s business as usual within the Fiji Police Force and we remain committed towards the protection of life and property and the maintenance of law and order.”

He also said police officers around the country would continue with their work in various capacities in both the investigative and operational arms of policing.

“I ask that you continue to support the Fiji Police Force and officers serving in your respective divisions and districts and reiterate that we exist for the sole purpose of serving our fellow Fijians and visitors to our shores.”
