The Constitutional Offices Commission (COC) is scheduled to convene on December 19 to finalize the selection of the next Commissioner of Police. This announcement was made by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, who also chairs the COC.
Rabuka revealed that a specialized selection panel has been tasked with reviewing candidates for the position, leading to the development of a shortlist and recommendations. However, he noted that he does not have access to the identities of the shortlisted candidates, as this information is maintained by the COC Secretariat.
Once a candidate is selected, the decision will be formally endorsed by His Excellency the President, based on the Prime Minister’s advice.
This development signifies an important step in ensuring effective leadership within the police force, which plays a vital role in maintaining law and order in the country. The upcoming meeting could pave the way for innovative strategies and reforms under new leadership, fostering a safer environment for all citizens.
In summary, the COC is moving forward with its selection process for a new Commissioner of Police, indicating a proactive approach to strengthening law enforcement in Fiji.
