Five Police officers charged with the alleged assault of a 27-year-old man on the 27th of March 2023 will be produced in the Nausori Magistrates Court tomorrow.
The Acting Commissioner of Police, Juki Fong Chew, says all five officers face one count of Assault Causing Actual Bodily Harm.
The alleged incident occurred in Nausori.
The Acting Commissioner reiterates his commitment to holding police officers accountable for their actions if they cross the line and are involved in any form of activities unbecoming of a law enforcement officer.
He stresses that due processes will be followed upon the receipt of an official complaint against any officer, and if assessed to be criminal in nature, the Criminal Investigations Department will take over.
Chew says if an officer is found guilty in a court of law, the officer will be terminated from the organization.
He adds officers are constantly reminded that their role is not only to enforce the law but equally as important to abide by the law.
