SSP Ravula said there has been a lot of changes that have taken place during their one year away.

“Throughout this re-integration program you will realize that a lot has changed in the one year. There have been changes in Government, and in our Organization as well, there are new policies in place that you need to understand,” SSP Ravula said.

SSP Ravula said the efforts of the officers contributed to the Fiji Police's diplomacy efforts and their conduct whilst on tour reflected positively not only on the organisation but the nation in accordance with the Foreign Service Institute concept on consolidating delivery of Foreign policy priorities on all fronts of Government including the FPF.

You will be an asset wherever you are posted now,” he added. SSP Ravula said 24 officers will soon be deployed to UNMISS and 3 to UNISFA as UN IPO.
