The Fiji Police Force has responded to allegations of corruption within its ranks, emphasizing its commitment to integrity and accountability. Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu addressed recent arrests and charges involving police officers, asserting that these actions demonstrate the Force’s willingness to confront wrongdoing.
Tudravu underscored the importance of transparency and responsibility as essential elements in rebuilding public trust. He stated that restoring confidence in the police is contingent upon conducting open and impartial investigations into all allegations of misconduct. He reassured the community that every complaint would be addressed seriously and handled appropriately.
The Commissioner is actively encouraging members of the public with legitimate concerns to lodge formal complaints.
