Police Commissioner expresses sincere gratitude to every Fijian

Police Commissioner Ben Groenewald has expressed his sincere gratitude to every Fijian in cooperating with the Fiji Police Force in ensuring the 2014 General Elections was conducted successfully.

Ben Groenewald said the public’s support in heeding the call to respect the electoral process resulted in the smooth conduct of the elections.

Groenewald said while there were minor reports of political intolerance reporting during the pre/post-election period, other criminal cases were minimal during the past week.

He said their routine police operations continued with the push‑forward of manpower to ensure the Fiji Police conducted Election duties as well as routine police operations without hindrance.

According to Groenewald, their mission was to provide a safe and secure environment for the conduct of the 2014 General Elections.

He said they had achieved that goal which was made possible by the support and hard work put in by all the officers since pre-polling.
