An American entrepreneur, Baron Bruno, has made a notable contribution to the Fiji Police Force by donating a tent aimed at improving police presence throughout towns and cities in Fiji. The donation was presented earlier this week at the Northern Division Police Headquarters in Labasa.
Bruno, who is the owner and co-director of Fiji Real Estate Professionals, expressed his intention to aid the police in their efforts to reduce crime rates. He emphasized that an increase in safety is essential for tourists and investors who are looking to travel and do business in a secure environment.
The tent is expected to provide essential protection for officers conducting foot patrols, shielding them from adverse weather conditions such as rain and sun. Bruno hopes that this donation encourages more regular foot patrols by police, reinforcing the partnership between his company and the law enforcement agency. He stressed the importance of community cooperation in ensuring safety and stated that timely tips from the public could play a significant role in crime prevention.
Moreover, Bruno acknowledged specific issues faced by business operators in towns like Savusavu and Labasa, where problems such as public drinking and unruly nightlife present challenges for both the police and the local community. His sentiments echo the broader commitment by the Fiji Police Force to engage with the community while tackling these ongoing safety concerns.
This initiative aligns with other recent efforts to enhance public safety, including the establishment of police booths at popular tourist spots and collaborative operations designed to bolster police-community relations. These actions reflect an ongoing commitment to fostering a safer environment for both locals and visitors in Fiji.
Bruno’s donation represents hope for enhanced community safety and is a clear example of how local businesses can contribute to national security and public welfare. By promoting cooperation between businesses and law enforcement, the potential exists for a collective effort to improve public safety in Fiji, encouraging future investments and tourism.
