Opening of BRC 66

“Recruits, humble yourselves to know that the uniform we wear, representing authority and power, should be used for good”.

A stern reminder issued by the Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew to 220 Police Recruits while officially opening the Batch 66 Basic Recruits Course Training at the Fiji Police Academy in Nasova this morning.

The 220 recruits include candidates from the open recruitment drive, absorbed police constables and ten officers from the Tuvalu police service.

The Acting Commissioner who also celebrated his 34 years of service reminded the recruits that policing was a profession and career that required unwavering commitment and dedication.

“You marched in last Sunday so you’ve been here for a week now. The gates are still open if you want to leave, because here, we need officers that will remain fully committed to the policing profession”.

The Acting Commissioner reiterated the need to respect and maintain the integrity of the policing profession.

“Our uniform does not represent the authority to abuse, corrupt or to use for personal gain. This uniform does not belong solely to your family, relatives, friends or acquaintances. This uniform belongs to everyone, as you are here to serve everyone equally without prejudice or favour”.

The Acting Commissioner said, “If you remain humble and keep close to your heart the core values of policing with the firm understanding that you are accountable for all your actions, I can guarantee that you will have a long, prosperous and distinguished policing career”.

The BRC training for Batch 66 is expected to end in mid December.
