The safety and security of citizens during the upcoming festive and cyclone seasons hinge on the preparedness and quick response of law enforcement, emphasized Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Joape Cakacaka, the newly appointed Divisional Police Commander for the Eastern Division. During his inaugural operational readiness check parade held in Nausori, he highlighted the importance of maintaining professionalism among the officers serving in the Eastern Division, which includes regions such as Nakasi, Nausori, Naitasiri, Tailevu, Rewa, and the Lomaiviti group.
SSP Cakacaka articulated the need for officers to adhere to the high standards of discipline that characterize their role. “As guardians of peace and safety, it is vital to uphold values such as integrity, respect, humility, and professionalism in all our actions,” he stated. He acknowledged that while the festive season is often filled with joy and celebration, it also poses specific challenges that necessitate a dedicated commitment to duty and excellence from all officers.
He reminded the officers that their actions not only reflect upon themselves but also on the entire Fiji Police Force. By conducting checks on both land and maritime resources, SSP Cakacaka reinforced the urgency of maintaining readiness and responsiveness to ensure the community’s safety. He urged his team to remain focused and dedicated to their duty, thus sustaining a high standard of service delivery.
This proactive approach to law enforcement highlights a commitment to community safety, fostering a spirit of cooperation and readiness among police officers, which can greatly enhance public safety during potentially tumultuous times. With careful planning and a unified effort, the Fiji Police Force is positioned to protect and serve effectively, ensuring a safe festive season for all.
Overall, this message of preparedness and professionalism is not only a reminder of the police’s crucial role but also a hopeful assurance to the community that their safety is a priority.
