Acting Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu has told officers that they should count themselves lucky to have employment because the way in is hard but the doors are wide open for a quick exit if the officers do not uphold the integrity of the policing profession.

While opening the Basic Recruits Batch 2/20 Training, Tudravu says there are many wanting to join the organization and he would not hesitate to replace any officer who fails to uphold the integrity of policing. He adds as Police officers they are constantly scrutinized by the public for their actions when they break the laws they swore to uphold.

Tudravu called on the officers to be thankful that they have employment and a source of livelihood for their families.

Meanwhile, the 176 Police officers were members of the Special Constabulary and while some had been absorbed to the Regular Force , they had never undergone the Basic Recruitment Training.

The course is in line with the institutional Reform and Restructure Process currently underway.
