Fiji police force prepares to embark on major reforms

The Fiji Police Force is preparing to embark on a major transformation, with a wave of reforms aimed at strengthening visibility, accountability, and public trust.
Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu confirmed this week that the force is set to introduce body-worn cameras, roll out major station upgrades, and begin the recruitment of 1,000 new officers.
Tudravu said the body camera initiative will be a cornerstone of the Force’s strategy to improve transparency and operational conduct.
But, he stressed, it is not a simple matter of handing out cameras to officers on patrol. “It’s not just about issuing equipment. It’s a system that needs to be built from the ground up,” he said.
