The Fiji Police Force in collaboration with the New Zealand Government and the United Nations Development Programme have today signed the Fiji Police Support Programme.

The programme is a four year project of $9.2 million which aims to strengthen early access to justice in criminal investigations and strengthen a victim centred approach to investigations.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the funding for the programme will be rolled out in the next four years.

Qiliho says given the current situation, the signing is a huge achievement and should be commended.

He says the first phase of assistance is aimed at improving the response capacity of the police is crisis management particularly in Fiji’s battle against COVID-19.
