The Fiji Police Force is ramping up its policing efforts for the festive season with the launch of discreet tactical operations designed to uphold law and order. Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Aporosa Lutunauga has reassured the public that security is being closely monitored, particularly in light of a recent attempted robbery in Tacirua Heights.
Lutunauga highlighted the police’s preparedness to respond quickly to any criminal activities that may arise during this bustling season, urging potential offenders to think twice before committing crimes. “We will be out there in the public to respond to crimes, and we did so in the Tacirua incident. We have available men on the ground at this time,” he stated, emphasizing the proactive measures being taken.
The swift apprehension of two suspects associated with the Tacirua Heights robbery serves as a firm reminder to would-be criminals of the police’s dedication to prompt action during the holiday period. By keeping certain operations under wraps, the police aim to stay ahead of potential offenders, allowing them to operate without revealing their strategies.
As holiday festivities ramp up both on land and at sea, the police presence has been significantly increased in critical areas such as ports, road checkpoints, and other public spots. This heightened visibility is part of an effort to protect communities throughout the season, aiming not only to deter criminal activity but also to foster a sense of safety and security as citizens celebrate. The proactive strategy adopted by the police reflects a commitment to ensuring that the festive period is enjoyable and secure for all.
