Police Commissioner and Command Group pass fitness test

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho and the Police Command Group passed their quarterly required fitness level test this morning along Queen Elizabeth Drive in Suva.

Police confirm that Qiliho, Deputy Police Commissioner ACP Rusiate Tudravu, some Assistant Police Commissioners and Directors took the fitness level test this morning and passed.

Other police officers also took part this morning while others were there for their trials as they have the week to run their tests.

As part of the required fitness level test, officers have to complete a 2.4 kilometres run with a set time limit and do a required number of sit ups, push ups and chin ups.

There are different time limits for men and women based on age groups.

Qiliho has previously stated his concern with the health and the level of fitness for some Police officers particularly with the high number of deaths of Police officers succumbing to Non-Communicable Diseases.

The Police Commissioner has even put on record that he is willing to resign if he does not meet the Fiji Police Force fitness requirements.
