20 Police Officers are undergoing training at the Fiji Police Academy in order to enhance their ability to operate video interviewing rooms.
The successful completion of this Video Interviewing Course will improve the transparency and safeguarding work that is involved in Police Investigations.
The Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police, Itendra Nair says cases are often acquitted or dismissed because of minor technicalities and allegations levelled against their investigators for misconduct or the abuse of their powers, however the use of the video interviewing room will help minimize these issues.
The Video Interviewing Course is facilitated by United Nations Development Programme, the Government of the United Kingdom and other stakeholders include the Legal Aid Commission and the Fiji Human Rights and Anti‑Discrimination Commission.
The training ends on Thursday.
