Police met with Suva nightclub staff at 3.30 this morning after the clubs closed in a move to improve processes regarding de-escalation tactics.
During that meeting, nightclub staff requested that there be heavy police presence every weekend and not only on holidays.
This comes as 6 people had been hospitalised last Sunday after a brawl outside a club that also involved club bouncers.
O’Reillys Bar Chief of Security, Viliame Draunidalo reassured the Police that all nightclub staff will improve in servicing the people of Fiji.

Draunidalo says that incidents like what happened on the weekend before New Years were a dime a dozen, but de-escalation tactics need to be improved on.
Police, in turn, reassured the nightclub staff that they would be working hand-in-hand with them to keep Fijians safe during nights out.
A suggestion was made that the Ministry of Labour be approached for an agent and a counsellor to run workshops to facilitate the assessment of the mental health of nightclub staff.
Corporal Sikeli Rabuka led the meeting.
