On a special day for 10-year-old Arjun Kumar from Labasa, he not only celebrated his birthday but also witnessed a proud moment as his father, Inspector Avinesh Kumar, received a distinguished medal of honor. The ceremony took place at the Suva Civic Centre, where Arjun was joined by his mother, Sanjeeta Sharma, who works at the High Court Registry in Suva.

The event saw the presentation of Fiji Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medals to 206 officers, along with 89 Fiji Police Medals awarded. Arjun expressed his pride for his father’s achievement, especially since Inspector Kumar recently returned from a United Nations mission in South Sudan. This recognition marks the third medal awarded to Inspector Kumar since his return.

“I’m very proud of my achievement and grateful for my family’s presence today,” said Inspector Kumar, who has dedicated 19 years to the Fiji Police Force. He thanked the force for acknowledging their hard work and commitment to upholding safety in the country.

Arjun is set to return to Labasa to prepare for the upcoming school year. During the ceremony, Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew praised all officers for their ongoing efforts in maintaining safety in Fiji despite public scrutiny. He encouraged officers to seize every opportunity to improve and to remain steadfast in their commitments for both their families and the nation, acknowledging that not all officers have chosen the right path.

This heartwarming story highlights the importance of family support in professional achievements, showcasing how moments of recognition can bring joy not only to the individual but also to their loved ones. It’s an encouraging reminder that dedication and hard work can lead to meaningful rewards, inspiring others to follow in similar footsteps.
