Fiji’s police force is currently undergoing training in public order management, facilitated by the Australian Federal Police (AFP). This initiative follows the donation of specialized equipment to the Fiji Police by the AFP last October, aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the Police Mobile Force in conducting specialized operations.
The Fiji Police Force emphasized the significance of this equipment, noting that it not only assists in their operations but is also intended to improve the training capabilities in public order management for Fiji and the wider Pacific region. This training program is part of a broader collaboration established under the Solesolevaki Memorandum of Understanding, signed in October 2022, which aims to bolster security partnerships and address vulnerabilities between Australia and Fiji, as well as within the Pacific area.
This training underscores a commitment to improving regional security and law enforcement coordination. It reflects a proactive approach to creating safer communities through enhanced skills and shared resources.
Overall, this initiative represents a positive step towards strengthening police capabilities in Fiji, thereby contributing to regional stability and better public safety. As Fiji continues to develop its law enforcement frameworks, such partnerships are vital for both national and regional security.
