To support this initiative, a heightened police presence will be visible in towns, cities, roads, and popular picnic locations. ACP Driu pointed out that while the police are there to provide safety, personal responsibility is key. “Safety starts with each individual,” he emphasized.
The police will also work alongside stakeholders to monitor movements, particularly concerning road usage, and ensure law and order is upheld during the festive period.

In light of these efforts, the community can look forward to a festive season marked by increased safety measures and shared responsibility. This collaboration between the Fiji Police Force and community members can foster a joyful and secure environment for families and friends to celebrate.
