Another milestone for women officers

Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Reshmi Singh, originally from the province of Macuata in the Northern Division, will be leaving our shores to join two police serving in the United Nations Interim Security Forces in Abyei (UNISFA). 

Leaving her home and family behind is not easy, but the call to serve remains strong, she said. 

ASP Reshmi comes with a wealth of knowledge and experiences as this will be her thirty-second years of service & her fifth deployment to UN peacekeeping operations.

Her appointment as the UNISFA Contingent Commander is a milestone achievent for Fiji women in policing as the two FPF mission areas UNISFA and UNMISS will be headed by women.
