RECRUITS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The 185 Police Recruits from the Fiji Police Academy consisting of Fijian, Nauru Police Force and Tuvalu police service officers visited seven villagers along the Queens highway in the Southern Division as part of their Community visitations engagements aimed at also enhancing their public speaking skills.

The Recruits were divided into their seven squads, and each were distributed to the seven villages of Muaivuso, Nabaka, Namakala, Waiqanake, Ucuinamono, Togalevu and Kalokolevu.

Also accompanying the recruits during the two day tour was New Zealand Police Senior Advisor Jasmine Woolet who is working in Fiji under the Fiji Police Partnership Programme.

They left the Academy on Wednesday to spend one night and conduct awareness at their selected villagers and returned yesterday after they summed up their awareness campaign at Muaivuso village.

Fiji Police Divisional Manager Community Policing (DMCP) Southern Division Superintendent of Police (SP) Ruci Nasemira said the visit by the Recruits accompanied by Southern Division community policing officers will go a long way in fostering strong ties and partnership in tackling social issues and strengthen crime prevention efforts between police and the community.

The community visitation by the Recruits was welcomed whole heartedly by the elders and chiefs and its people, of the three “Vanua” of Navukavu, Natauvakarua and Tabaivalu.
