“I am thankful to the central committee for this initiative, Im here to work with all the personnel here in Nadi and we are trying to work for the betterment and safety of Nadi town,” said cfficer- in- charge Assistant Superintendent of Police Petero Tuinirarama.
Chairman of the Nadi Central Community Policing Committee Doctor Mohammed Yunus stressed that Interactive partnerships and public trust were essential tools in strengthening ties with relevant stakeholders such as government agencies and non-government organizations.

ASP Tuinirarama commended the committee’s initiative to reward the community officers for their hard work and efforts to keep the community safe.
