The Fiji Police Force today honored senior officers for their dedication and loyalty to service.
The officers have demonstrated steadfast commitment and unwavering service to the nation over the years.
Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew presented medals during a service in Suva today. He stated that the medals represented honor, valor, patience, sacrifice, and most importantly, honesty.
He renewed the call for police officers to remain loyal, honest, and professional at all times, emphasizing the need to never lose sight of their purpose to serve with integrity.
“If we are to be anything in our careers, we should be the beacon of hope and stability, like a lighthouse that not only stands to show the way but to protect.” He added that it is time to take the organization forward, stressing the impact of leaving it either better or worse.
“Metaphorically, lighthouses provide a sense of safety and direction – while also symbolizing the importance of staying on course and making informed decisions during times of uncertainty.”
