Western division medal award ceremony

The Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew officiated the Western Division Medal Award ceremony this morning where he reminded officers to that they were judged on their actions, and must be honest in the conduct of their work at all times.

Held at the Girmit Multicultural Centre in Lautoka, the ceremony was also an opportunity for the officers to hold the Division's fourth quarter church service.

Officers were awarded the Fiji Police Long Service Medal, Fiji Police Overseas Service Medal and the Fiji Police Medal.

The ActingCommissioner of Police congratulated the medal recipients, commending them for their loyalty in serving Fiji and its visitors. “Please also convey my appreciation to your families for their support.

Our success is not ours alone, and you must utilise every opportunity possible to acknowledge those who have contributed to your success”.

The acting head of the organisation said “The positions, ranks and status we possess are all temporary.

The day will come when we will all exit this organisation. Be honest with yourself, honest in the conduct of your duty, honest in upholding our ethics”.

“This is our time to take this organisation forward and we can either leave it better or worse. We are defined by our actions, execute your duties with a clean heart.

We should not hide anything. That is the way forward for us. Transparency and accountability”. Eighty-nine(89) officers received the Fiji Police Long Service Medal, forty-one (41) officers received the FPF Overseas Service Medal and four (4) received the Fiji Police Medal.
