Maximizing Leadership Capabilities

Sixteen women are attending a workshop facilitated by the Australian Federal Police and the Pacific Faculty of Policing aimed at maximizing leadership capabilities.

The participants hold senior managerial posts within the Fiji Police Force, comprising of Superintendent of Police, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Inspectors and Senior Administration Officer from Headquarters, the West, East, South and Central Divisions.

Facilitators Australian Federal Police’s Senior Liaison Officer Pacific Detective Superintendent Adrian Morton and AFP’s Detective Sergeant Christopher Burgess said the workshop is aimed at getting the best out of the women officers.

“We have put together programs that cover many different aspects and when we say maximizing women in leadership, we are talking about getting the best out of the Police Force”.

“The team that you work in, you lead and you help, is so much stronger if it gets the best ideas from everyone in the team”.

The workshop is the second in a series of programs aligned to the Pacific Islands Chiefs of Police’s Pacific Police Training Advisory Group (PPTAG) Leadership Framework competencies.

Detective Superintendent Morton said the AFP sees Fiji as a nation that is able to lead and show example to other Pacific nations, and hopes that the knowledge gained will be passed on to other Pacific nations to be able to achieve a safer Blue Pacific together.
