As we approach the festive season, residents can expect an increased police presence aimed at ensuring public safety. The Fiji Police Force has launched its festive season operations, with officers already briefed on the crucial role of this initiative.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations, Livai Driu, emphasized that starting these operations early serves to remind everyone about their personal safety during this joyful time. He stated, “We want to remind everyone to be mindful of their safety when traveling on the road, shopping, enjoying picnics by the sea, or simply spending time with friends.”
Driu highlighted that the heightened visibility of police officers is intended for everyone’s security, yet personal safety begins with individual responsibility. He further stressed the police’s commitment to maintaining law and order and their collaboration with various stakeholders to monitor activities, particularly on the roads.
With the goal of an incident-free festive period, ACP Driu called upon the community for support. “Police cannot do this alone and we need your support. Support us in keeping everyone safe, whether it’s on our roads, out at sea, in towns and cities, or when you’re at home with your family,” he urged.
Residents can expect to see police presence across various locations, including towns and cities, roads and highways, community areas, picnic spots, schools, and businesses.
This proactive approach by the police underscores a commitment to community safety during a time often associated with increased activity and travel. By encouraging collective responsibility, the Fiji Police Force aims to foster a secure environment where everyone can enjoy the festivities with peace of mind.
In summary, the Fiji Police Force is stepping up its operations as the festive season approaches in an effort to enhance safety for all citizens through increased visibility and community cooperation.
