Internal disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against officers based at the Valelevu Police Station for their conduct in the handling a report against another Police officer last week.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations (ACP) Livai Driu said the conduct of the two Police officers, who were the subject of the viral video, is also being investigated by the Internal Affairs Unit.
He said due processes will be followed, and upon the completion of the investigation process, appropriate charges as per internal policies will be laid.
“We have also identified shortfalls in the handling of the matter, and these are being addressed through mentoring, training, and heightened monitoring of internal processes and procedures.”
“We accept the criticisms leveled against the organization as a way of learning and are actively working on addressing these issues that have affected policing over a number of years.”
“As an organisation, we are committed to rebuilding trust within our communities and recognize that it starts from within,” said ACP Driu.
