Checkpoints will continue to be active across the nation as police maintain their focus on road safety during the festive season. Assistant Commissioner for Police Operations, Livai Driu, emphasized that the Fiji Police Force is dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of roads and will sustain these checkpoint operations throughout this busy period.
Since last month, there has been an increased tempo in police operations to foster a secure environment as people celebrate the holidays. Driu explained that these checkpoints serve both as a deterrent to those with ill intentions and as a reminder to drivers about the importance of ensuring safety for themselves and their passengers.
The police have been effective in their efforts at the checkpoints, where they have seized drugs and addressed various offenses, including charging individuals lacking proper documentation or driving with excessive passengers. They have also identified and halted those driving under the influence of alcohol.
ACP Driu urged the public to remain patient during police checks, reinforcing that the ultimate goal of these measures is to safeguard all road users. This commitment reflects a proactive stance to enhance community safety during a time when road traffic often increases.
In a positive light, the presence of these checkpoints not only serves to deter potential wrongdoing but also encourages a culture of safety and responsibility among drivers, which can lead to a more enjoyable and secure festive season for everyone.
