Support came from all walks of life for officers who are on the ground during the COVID-19 restriction period.

People came bringing refreshments and hearty meals cooked by families and society groups throughout the week.

Inspector Sue Douglas of the New Zealand Police also gave out food supplies at many checkpoints within the Suva area.
