The Fiji Police Force actively engaged in the ILOI Capacity Development Program organized by ARUKA Fiji, focusing on enhancing community trust and engagement today. This initiative marks a significant step in fostering stronger connections between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
The ongoing 10-day training program in Nabua emphasizes key areas such as mentorship, networking, and psychological support, crucial for preparing participants for future job opportunities and instilling confidence. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Salanieta Radaniva highlighted the importance of this program, stating that the Police Force aims to advocate for increased community trust and collaboration.
A substantial portion of the training is dedicated to rebuilding public confidence in the Fiji Police Force. “Our goal is to ensure that as these participants are empowered economically, they are also equipped with knowledge that promotes community safety,” said SSP Radaniva. This initiative aligns with the broader strategy of the Fiji Police Force aimed at enhancing relations with the public through transparency and partnership.
In recent months, various training programs have taken place within the Fiji Police, such as a workshop aimed at improving human rights issues and conflict resolution skills among officers. This ongoing training is part of a larger reform process designed to strengthen community relationships and compliance with international human rights standards, which has been emphasized by leaders across the police force.
The Fiji Police Force is taking significant strides towards enhancing their practices and community interactions, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to evolution within law enforcement. As various training initiatives continue to roll out, including programs focusing on ethical conduct and problem-solving skills, there is a positive outlook for improved public safety and community trust.
These proactive measures reflect a recognition of the challenges faced by communities and an eagerness to adapt to modern policing needs. The commitment shown by the Fiji Police Force to reform and strengthen its ties with the public presents a hopeful future for the safety and well-being of Fiji’s citizens.
