The Fiji Police Force as an organisation is not corrupt, it’s the actions of a few that have created that perception says Acting Commissioner Juki Fong Chew.

The acting COMPOL has as a result challenged officers to work towards changing public perception through the conduct of good work.

He made by comments during the medal award ceremony held at the Fiji Police Academy this morning.

Fong Chew says he has received messages of praise on the work done by the Force, however he adds that these are few compared to the most damaging examples they portray when an officer is charged and produced in court.

He adds that he takes the criticism with a good heart, knowing that police officers can change.

The Acting Commissioner is encouraging the officers to continue the good work amidst the rapidly evolving criminal landscape.
