As The Fiji Police Force farewelled its Director of Intelligence Bureau, Senior Superintendent of Police David Keshwan, the Tavua native made a request to his comrades to develop and maintain a sense of self-discipline for the sake of the people they serve.
The outgoing head of the Intelligence Bureau says since the day he marched in as a young recruit, he has not had a single regret about his decision to become a Police officer.
He says that at the beginning it was difficult having to adapt to a life of discipline with stringent rules of conduct.
However he says that he was fortunate to have senior officers as instructors whose teachings have moulded him to be the officer he is today.
SSP Keshwan’s first posting was to the Labasa Police Station as a prosecutor,.
He then later took up the post of community policing officer before climbing the ranks within the Intelligence Bureau.
When asked about what life would be like outside of the Force, SSP Keshwan says it would be difficult to adjust.
SSP Keshwan adds that although he will be retiring today he still cannot imagine life outside the Force, but he will remain loyal and honest to the organisation and to the Government of the day.
He highlights that once a police officer he will always be a police officer.
Keshwan says that everything about being an officer for him is unique and he has made for himself a big family which is and always will be the Fiji Police Force.
He attributed the success of his career as a police officer to the officers under his command.
