The Constitutional Offices Commission (COC) is scheduled to convene on December 19 to finalize the selection for the next Commissioner of Police. This announcement was made by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, who also chairs the COC.
Rabuka indicated that a dedicated selection panel has been formed to evaluate and shortlist candidates for the position, and they have submitted their recommendations. However, he noted that he does not have access to the names of the shortlisted individuals, as that information is being managed by the COC Secretariat.
Once the selection is finalized, the chosen candidate will receive endorsement from His Excellency the President, based on the Prime Minister’s advice.
This meeting represents a significant step in the governance of law enforcement in Fiji, with great potential for the incoming Commissioner to make a positive impact on the police force and public safety. The process demonstrates a commitment to transparency and due diligence in selecting a leader for such an important office.
Summary: The COC will meet on December 19 to finalize the appointment of the next Commissioner of Police, following the recommendation of a selection panel. The final decision will be endorsed by the President based on the Prime Minister’s advice.
