The safety of citizens during the upcoming festive and cyclone seasons largely hinges on the readiness and responsiveness of law enforcement. This perspective was shared by Senior Superintendent of Police Joape Cakacaka, the newly appointed Divisional Police Commander for the Eastern Division, during an operational readiness parade held in Nausori.
This parade marked SSP Cakacaka’s first since taking on his role and was attended by officers from the Eastern Division, covering areas such as Nakasi, Nausori, Naitasiri, Tailevu, Rewa, and the Lomaiviti group. In his address, he emphasized the need for professionalism, discipline, and adherence to core values such as integrity, respect, humility, and professionalism, especially during the festive season, which is a time of joy and celebration but also presents unique operational challenges.
SSP Cakacaka noted that the community closely observes police behavior, stating that their actions reflect on both individual officers and the broader Fiji Police Force. He conducted checks on both land and maritime resources and reiterated the importance of maintaining focus and dedication to duty to ensure the community’s safety.
This proactive approach underscores the police force’s commitment to maintaining public safety in challenging times. As the festive season approaches, the dedication shown by the police to uphold their standards is a positive indication of community safety and security.
In summary, this operation readiness check parade serves as a reminder that vigilance and professionalism are paramount as the Eastern Division prepares to serve and protect citizens during an important and potentially challenging season. The police’s dedication to their roles provides hope for a safe and joyous festive season ahead.
