Police are here to serve, nothing more and nothing less - Qiliho

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says while the majority of the officers serving throughout Fiji are working hard to serve the Fijian public, there are a few who have forgotten their purpose of being a member of a service-oriented institution.

Qiliho says while it is hard to dismiss officers from the Force for issues of ill-discipline and their failure to uphold the law, the decision has to be made for the sake of improving service delivery.

While officiating at the Constable Qualifying Course, Qiliho reiterated the institution’s annual focus on improving service delivery.

He says this year is a year of improving service delivery to the people as it is in their motto and badges, yet some officers cannot perform simple acts such as answering the phones the right way, attending to reports in a timely and efficient manner to providing feedback when it’s due.

He says they are here to serve, nothing more and nothing less, officers’ lives revolve around serving, and if they can’t serve, then they are in the wrong profession.

He urged officers to reflect on themselves in the last few years of on the job training and those of them who have served longer, ask the questions that they need to ask so that they will be able to start fresh again.

Majority of the 74 officers undergoing the course had passed out in 2016.
