“All the challenging issues of the Fiji Police are now dovetailing with this plan, regarding what is needed, what the gaps are, what resources we require, and the strategies Fiji must implement, especially concerning law and order.”

Lutunauga adds that key areas of focus include capacity-building and enhancing the force’s capabilities.
