About 80 Police Officers are part of the security detail at the 2022 Coca-Cola Games that is currently underway at the HFC Bank Stadium.

Coca-Cola's Marketing Manager, Lawrence Tikaram says the Fiji Police Force has been proactive this week by visiting schools and talking to students about the responsibility of being a good corporate citizen.

He says other members of the disciplinary forces are also involved in the security detail.

Tikaram says school rivalry will still be present but students are being urged to be responsible.

He adds that members of the public should be aware that unvaccinated children will only be allowed to enter the stadium if they are accompanied by a fully vaccinated adult.

Meanwhile, Chief Operations Officer ACP Abdul Khan says their operations will not only look at safety and security during game days but also post-game days, as there will be increased movement of people in and out of the capital city.

He says traffic officers will not hesitate to confiscate any items deemed to be a safety threat to other passengers and road users and unruly behaviour on public and private transport will not be tolerated, and drivers are being urged to play their part and ensure the safety of their passengers.

ACP Khan says that based on past trends, student behaviour has always been a concern, and the Force is calling on parents and guardians to constantly remind their children of the consequences of getting involved in any form of illegal activities.

He adds that Police and other stakeholders are doing their part, but having similar safety awareness messages reinforced at home, would greatly assist in keeping students safe.

The Chief Operations Officer says officers from the K9 Unit will be deployed to conduct regular random checks over the three days.

ACP Khan says if everyone plays their part, the 2022 Coca-Cola Games will be an incident-free event enjoyed by all.
