Fong Chew states that Fiji is truly grateful and committed to supporting any collective moves to strengthen regional capabilities in responding to crime and security threats.
He says that the training focuses on enhancing the knowledge of INTERPOL policing capabilities for Pacific National Central Bureaus and effective presentation skills.
The Acting Police Commissioner adds that at the strategic level, they will formulate and conceptualize the implementation of the project, but it is the officers who operationalize the plans and documents.
