“You are our front-line soldiers and it is you who have the power to make a difference”.
Those were the words of the Acting Chief of Intelligence and Investigations ACP Semisi Bokadi while closing the Personal Crime Investigators Course at the Fiji Police Academy this morning.
Bokadi reminded the 26 participants of the Commissioner of Police’s focus on sexual offences and crimes against women and children.
He adds every year there are statistics on sexual crimes, domestic violence, and other serious crimes against women and children.
Bokadi says the participants have been handpicked to undertake this two weeks course and have been tasked to carry the burden of ensuring that all such crimes reported to them are well investigated and the perpetrators are taken to task without delay.
Participants include investigators from around the Division with an officer traveling from the island of Rotuma to be part of the two week training.
