The Fiji Police Force is encouraging citizens to resolve conflicts peacefully instead of taking drastic actions that could threaten their safety and well-being. This message follows an incident that occurred early in the morning at the Suva foreshore near the Fiji Police Academy, where a police officer intervened in a domestic dispute.
According to police reports, the officer on duty at the academy overheard a couple arguing around 3 a.m. and went to investigate. When he arrived, he found a woman, who appeared to be intoxicated, attempting to harm herself. The officer intervened to help her partner bring her back to safety onshore, assisting the couple in resolving their issues.
Additionally, law enforcement officials remind the public that alcohol is not the solution to problems. They emphasize that excessive drinking can worsen unresolved issues and may lead to serious harm or even fatalities.
