The safety of citizens during the forthcoming festive and cyclone seasons relies heavily on the preparedness and responsiveness of the police force. This was articulated by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Joape Cakacaka, the newly appointed Divisional Police Commander for the East, during his operational readiness check parade held in Nausori.
In his first official parade, which brought together officers from the Eastern Division, SSP Cakacaka emphasized the importance of maintaining professionalism and high standards of discipline among the ranks. He stated, “As guardians of peace and safety, it is imperative that we uphold the values of integrity, respect, humility, and professionalism in all that we do.”
As the community prepares to celebrate the festive season, which is marked by joy and festivities, SSP Cakacaka also acknowledged the unique challenges that can accompany this period. He reminded officers that their conduct reflects not only on their individual reputations but also on the Fiji Police Force as a whole.
The Eastern Division encompasses regions such as Nakasi, Nausori, Naitasiri, Tailevu, Rewa, and the Lomaiviti group. During the parade, checks were carried out on both land and maritime resources to ensure readiness for any emergencies that may arise.
In conclusion, SSP Cakacaka urged his officers to stay focused on their duties and uphold exemplary service to ensure the safety of all citizens. His message is one of commitment to excellence in their policing efforts during this crucial time.
This proactive approach by the police reflects a strong commitment to community safety and the importance of unity and professionalism within the force. With the right preparations, both the police and the public can look forward to a safer festive season.
