The Pilot program of the First Hour Procedure and Video Recorded Interviews will be expanded to other police stations across Fiji including Labasa and Lautoka in the coming months.
It will continue for a further 12 months until 30 April next year.
A joint statement says interested parties including the Judicial Department, Office of Director of Public Prosecutions, Fiji Police Force, Legal Aid Commission, Human Rights and Anti‑Discrimination Commission and United Nations Development Programme met to review the progress of the Pilot of the First Hour Procedure and Video Recorded Interviews and decide on the way forward yesterday.
They will meet every three months to review the progress of the pilot program.
