“Remember, we are the guardians of peace and safety, and it is imperative that we uphold the values of integrity, respect, humility, and professionalism in all our actions,” SSP Cakacaka stressed. He acknowledged that while the festive season brings joy and celebration to the community, it also poses unique challenges that demand an unwavering commitment to duty and excellence.
SSP Cakacaka reminded officers that their actions reflect not only on themselves but on the entire Fiji Police Force, highlighting the community’s watchful eye on their conduct. Additionally, the operational checks included assessments of both land and maritime resources to ensure preparedness for any eventualities.
As the community prepares for the festivities ahead, the emphasis on a dedicated police force underlines the commitment to public safety, paving the way for a secure and joyful season.
