The Acting Commissioner of Police, Juki Fong Chew, has expressed his support for the appointment of Rusiate Tudravu as the new Commissioner of Police. Mr. Chew commended Mr. Tudravu’s extensive experience, particularly noting his previous role as acting Commissioner and his evaluation of the police Force.
Mr. Chew remarked that Mr. Tudravu brings a fresh perspective to the role. He has encouraged members of the police Force to provide the same support to Mr. Tudravu that they offered him during his tenure. In a recent reflection on his two-year term, Mr. Chew acknowledged the various challenges encountered by both the police department and the Coalition government, emphasizing their commitment to serving the people of Fiji.
During a ceremony honoring over 300 police officers, both retired and current, Mr. Chew encouraged the officers to extend their support to the upcoming Commissioner. Each officer received a medal of honor for their dedicated service to the police Force and the nation. Mr. Chew urged the officers to stay focused on their mission and not be distracted by internal issues or negativity.
Responding to inquiries last Friday, Mr. Tudravu expressed admiration for Mr. Chew’s leadership, indicating a preference for maintaining a low profile at this stage and promising to make future statements when appropriate. Mr. Tudravu is set to officially begin his role as Commissioner next month, while Mr. Chew will return to his position as Deputy Police Commissioner and is expected to begin his leave soon.
This transition in leadership represents a time of change for the police Force, and with Mr. Tudravu at the helm, there is hope for renewed dedication to service and unity within the department.
Overall, this changes point to a positive future for the police force as it navigates new leadership while fostering a spirit of collaboration and resilience among its members.
