HON. MINISTER, RATU INOKE KUBUABOLA
Sir,
Pursuant to Section 24 of the Public Service Regulations of 1999, and Section 49 of the Financial Management Act of 2010, I am pleased to submit the Fiji Police Force Annual Report for the fiscal year 1st August 2016 to 31st July, 2017.
This report incorporates the performances and achievements of the Fiji Police for the year ending July 31st, 2017.
Vinaka.
Sincerely yours,

June 2018 Fiji Police Annual Report Aug16 - Jul 17
Message from the Commissioner of Police
6 This Fiji Police Annual Report 2016 - 2017 provides a summary of the organisation’s undertakings for the financial year ending 31st July 2017. As Commissioner of Police, it is imperative that such a report is viewed and analysed for transparency and accountability purposes. The report also highlights major achievements for the fiscal year 2016-17.
There have been some improvements in the performance of the Fiji Police Force in terms of the eight (8) Key Performance Indicators. The overall crime rate decreased by 4% close to our target to reduce overall crime rate by 10%. Crimes against Women also recorded a 12% decrease; on the same note, road fatalities decreased by 5% compared to the 30% reduction target. Also, our detection rate recorded 69%. The increases were recorded in complaints against disciplinary offences by 16%, serious crimes 5% and crime against children 3%. We have, however, been within our budgetary allocations throughout the financial year.
A lot of questions arose as to why these crimes occur, however, I believe the solution lies in the question as to why the moral values that we hold dear as a society is slowly deteriorating. Particularly, as the crimes are being committed by persons in position of trust and within the confines of the four walls that are supposed to provide protection to majority of the victims. We need to work together, and I call on every Fijian to work with the Fiji Police Force in addressing crimes against women and children as this is an issue that needs to be addressed urgently. The Fiji Police Force cannot do this alone, therefore we continue to work towards a more integrated working partnership with religious institutions, civil society and all Fijians.
The year in review has also recorded a number of deaths on our roads which is extremely unfortunate as I am of the belief that majority of the deaths were avoidable. As a nation we would often share the grief of a family mourning the loss of a loved one and it was always a hard pill to swallow considering the deaths were largely due to human nature whereby a change in attitude and the acceptance of road safety awareness were all that were needed to prevent the loss of life. The major contributors to these road fatalities were the result of human elements, i.e. speeding; drunk driving; reckless, negligence, dangerous driving and pedestrian(s) at fault, to name a few. These as stated above, can easily be avoided with extra caution on the part of drivers and pedestrians alike.
The need for the behavioural change does not only apply for traffic related deaths, but also for drowning cases. With majority of drowning related deaths involving children under 10 years of age, we as responsible adults need to ask ourselves whether the safety of our children is being prioritized at all times? Children need constant supervision as drowning can happen when you would least expect it. Similarly, often acts of negligence or omission, are the worrying trends of suicide and missing person(s) in our communities. Fiji Police with other law enforcement and stakeholder agencies are equally concerned with these socially inclined acts of self-harm, and neglect. Fiji Police Annual Report Aug16 - Jul 17
Our focus on drugs continued in this fiscal year and with the success of major operations, such as Operation Cavuraka, conducted with the assistance of the Republic of the Fiji Military Forces, we will be stepping up on the momentum of operations to ensure we are able to reduce and eradicate the illegal drug trade. We are persistent in our war against drugs and will look at all avenues to deter people from getting involved as the effects it has on the user and society as a whole is devastating. 7 It is my wish that people will come to realize the vast negative effects the drug trade has on society and that only a handful of people are benefitting from this illegal activity. My officers will be looking into the proceeds of crime as we want to send a strong message that earning a living through the illegal drug trade will never be condoned.
Major seizures at our borders is also indicative of our determination to keep illegal drugs from entering our country and in partnership with relevant stakeholders such as the Fiji Revenue and Customs Authority, criminal elements are forewarned that we are vigilant in watching our borders. Amongst this illicit trade, is the imminent emergence of sale and use of methamphetamine, commonly known as ice, now readily available in the market. Our officers continue to make their mark in various overseas missions and it is a proud tradition we will continue in the 2017 – 2018 fiscal year as we fly both the Fiji and Fiji Police Force flag with pride under the United Nations umbrella. Our officers were deployed in UN Missions in South Sudan, Darfur, Sudan, and Middle East with our counterparts from RFMF.
An area that I will also be focused on is that of the delivery of our service to all Fijians. I do admit there have been shortfalls and we are addressing these through training opportunities with our Academy as well as civil society partners. In 2016, I directed the reintroduction of the Distance Flexible Learning Courses to ensure all my officers are able to undergo the training courses available at the Fiji Police Academy. This will continue as I want all my officers to have the same opportunity to enhance their knowledge which in turn will increase efficiency.
Our officers have also been fortunate to have studied overseas at world renowned institutions in countries such as the People’s Republic of China and Indonesia, India, under the India Technical & Education Co-operation (ITEC), Singapore based INTERPOL Innovation Centre, Pacific Centre for Strategic Studies in Hawaii, Korea, Japan, England, and our traditional allies, Australia and New Zealand and at the same time we have offered training opportunities at the Fiji Police Academy for our Pacific Island neighbours such as Kiribati, Nauru and Vanuatu through the Melanesian Spearhead Group.
A recent trip to Fiji by a delegation from the People's Republic of China’s Shanghai Municipal Public Security is testament of the growing working relationship forged between the Ministry of Public Security and the Fiji Police Force whereby since the formalization of security cooperation in April 2011, Fiji has been the recipient of assistance both in aid and training opportunities. Likewise, we have had numerous other visits from regional and international dignitaries to the Fiji Police Headquarters.
The attachment program for our officers will continue in 2017/2018 and on my recent trip to the People’s Republic of China I was also assured of their continued assistance in the form of technological aid as well as more training opportunities for which we are truly grateful for.
A Memorandum of Understanding with the Indonesian Government has also been vital to the operations of the Fiji Police Force in terms of training opportunities, staff leadership development, aid and technical assistance that has seen improvements with our service delivery.
We are fortunate that we will be able to take advantage of more training opportunities being made available in 2017 strengthening the already cordial relationship between the Fiji Police Force and the Indonesian National Police. Fiji Police Annual Report Aug16 - Jul 17
Another major milestone is the Fiji Police Force’s acceptance as observer status into the ASEANA Chiefs of Police Meeting of which I had attended with Director International Relations in August 2016. This is a major achievement for us as a nation as we look to forge and strengthen more international partnerships to combat and prevent transnational crime taking into consideration the complexity of global policing challenges. 8 We have also been fortunate that training opportunities have also been possible through our various partners such as the Australian Federal Police, New Zealand Police and INTERPOL. Amongst these, has been our multi-stakeholder collaboration between NZ Police, NZ Customs, Fiji Inland Revenue & Customs Services (FRCS), and Fiji Police on border control related Detector Dog Project at Nadi International Airport and the Nasese Detector Dog Kennel project for the Central Division ports of entry.
As an institution we have been extremely grateful to the Government for their support throughout the year and in return we are working hard to reciprocate the assistance in terms of uplifting our service delivery. Principle to these have been the facilitation of leased vehicles, which has extremely benefitted our mobility and attendance to service delivery engagements. Similarly, the budget has enabled the Fiji Police to address our long outstanding merit increase and salary upgrade activities.
The Fiji Police Force is not immune to criticism and despite the actions of some of our officers; I can confidently say that it does not paint a true picture of the thousands of others who continue with their work in the face of all the negativity, be it in major towns and cities, rural posts or out in maritime islands.
All these challenges mean that in the years ahead we need to engage more through the DUAVATA Community Policing to make sure we are all working on intervention and crime prevention.
It is my pleasure to present this report and we look forward to the ongoing partnership with our communities and stakeholders for a safer Fiji for all.
Vinaka,

Strategic Command
INTERNATIONAL & REGIONAL AFFAIRS
The Fiji Police Force (FPF) continues to benchmark with international law enforcement agencies in terms of 17 improving its capacity and capabilities. It also provides support to its regional partner police agencies through various Memorandums of Understanding and Agreements. The Directorate of International Relations is the focal point for all external partnerships to expand and strengthen areas of institutional strategic cooperation for the Fiji Police. During the year, a number of visitations were made by the senior management of the Force. Likewise, a number of dignitaries from partner agencies were hosted by the Commissioner of Police. There was a considerable number of Memorandums exchanged between local, regional and international agencies. These exchanges have seen the boost in the resources within the Force and has led to the attachment of Officers from China and Kiribati for knowledge sharing. The directorate continues to liaise with the UN Peacekeeping Missions to secure placements for our Police Officers and facilitate multi-faceted stakeholder programs.
There are also a number of international obligations that Fiji ascribes from the United Nations Conventions which our national government has ratified. Chief amongst these are, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, where a number of workshops and training were extended to FPF police officers as well. The Convention to Treatment of Person In Custody has seen dramatic changes in the way persons under police custody are being handled these days. The convention calls for infrastructure improvements to prisoner holding cells, care and custody of prisoners as well. Another significant change brought about during the year through international obligation is in our investigations portfolio. The ‘First Hour Interview” protocols, and ‘Electronic – audio interview recording’ has been rolled out from the CID Headquarters through to the Divisions. A large number of training and information sessions have been conducted with assistance from the staff from the legal fraternity.
A team comprising of senior officers had visited Nauru Police Service (NPS) as part of a Scoping Tour for the study and corporate audit of their organisation. Resulting recommendations, have seen, the Nauruan recruits returning to the Fiji Police Academy for Recruit and other Development training. Likewise, the Kiribati Police has also sought assistance in training their staff, which show their officers attending senior courses here at Fiji Police Academy. The strategic co-operation with our ‘neighbours’, Australia (Australian Federal Police [AFP]) and New Zealand Police is ever strengthening. These two agencies have been assisting the Fiji Police Force in a variety of bilateral and Pacific based law enforcement projects during the year.
The NZP-Fiji Police-Fiji Inland Revenue & Customs Service Detector Dog project (at Nadi Int. Airport, and later at Nasese-Suva), including dog handler training in Wellington-NZ is a classic example of success of our multi- lateral co-operation. Likewise, the NZP is engaged with the Fiji Police on a corporate project identifying the ‘Drivers of Crime’ in Fiji and the Pacific. The Pacific Transnational Crime Co-ordination Centre (PTCCU) and the Pacific Police Policy Network (PPPN) are other examples of success that the FPF has partnered with the AFP at the regional level. The AFP continues with their bilateral training arrangements with FPF, and these have seen developments in our investigations, surveillance and other staff and institutional development portfolios.
Our Chinese counterparts have also been forthcoming with a variety of goodwill exchange and donor/aid kind of assistance. Officer exchange programs, staff training and development, as well as the provision of tactical hardware for the Nasinu based Special Response Unit, to name a few have been some of these benefits. India through the ITEC program has offered a large number of training and development opportunities for Fiji Police officers as well as Fiji civil servants. These trainings range widely from management, leadership, ICT related, research, monitoring and evaluation, to name a few.
Fiji Police is active in the sub-regional and regional arena as well, where we have a high ranking officer based with the MSG-DPKO in Port Vila, Vanuatu. The officer is working in his capacity as a security/police advisor to the MSG Directorate. The Pacific Commissioner of Police Conference is yet another august body of law enforcement that FPF ascribes in the region. There had also been strong representation of the FPF at the INTERPOL General Assembly in Bali-Indonesia, by a delegation led by the Commissioner of Police. Herein, our Police Women’s Network is quite robust and our participation in the regional as well as the international arena is notable, and FPF Women officers are equally active in our domestic fronts, partnering with Ministry of Women on a number of projects and advocacy programmes. . the Royal New Zealand Police College’s Dog Training Centre in June 2017.

A Detector Dog Unit for Suva is expected to be opened in early 2018 where the Detector teams will be available for a range of work from screening international passengers at Nausori Airport to assisting Police and Customs activities at other ports of entry, and other associated operations. The detector dogs are trained to detect drugs, cash and firearms. The detector dogs for New Zealand and Fiji were sourced from the Australian Border Force’s renowned detector dog breeding programme before being trained in New Zealand at the Police Dog Training Centre in Wellington.
The Unit in Nadi had been instrumental in intercepting cases of drug smuggling amounting to more than FJ$6m 19 and the same is anticipated once the Suva unit becomes operational. The graduation and opening up of the Suva Unit augurs well with the institution’s crime prevention strategies.

Suicide Just as Missing Persons, Fire, and Drowning, suicide is equally a worrying social phenomena for police and other law enforcement authorities. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Lifeline Fiji – an NGO focusing on victims of suicide and attempted suicide cases. The MOU will not only focus on victims of suicide and attempted suicide cases, but will see Lifeline Fiji provide support in the counselling of police offices on stress management and self-care as well as provide debriefing services to Police returning from stressful outings and expeditions. 67 The NGO aims to provide training to Police officers who are in the frontline as they are the ones who are directly dealing with these issues. Persons as young as 11 years old have become the country’s youngest victim of suicide. This is a grave concern as this is a reflection of what our young minds are capable of doing in the face of disturbances and influences in this rapidly evolving environment. The Force has been calling on parents, guardians, care givers, schools and other stakeholders to be mindful of their words and actions which can be detrimental when the victims are not in a sound psychological state. It is important to observe behavioral changes in people around us at home or work places and address needs accordingly as many cases of suicide or attempted suicide arise from issues such as relationships gone wrong or people feeling pressured.
The following table illustrates the number of suicides and attempted suicides that took place during the years August 2015 – July 2017:

Defilement It is an offence to be with a person under the age of 18 years without the parent’s consent thus one could face the possibility of being charged with abduction, an offence in the Crimes Act.
Parents and guardians need to be aware that if their children under 16 are involved in a sexual relationship they are to alert the Police so that perpetrators could face possible charges for defilement of children under 13 years or defilement of young persons between 13 and 16 years.

The Force continues to address these issues through the DUAVATA Community Policing awareness programs, however there is a need for parents and guardians to discuss this matter with their children. There was a decrease of 25% in the number of defilement cases reported when compared to the pervious reporting periods.

Social media Capturing and sharing personal explicit images through social media platforms have become very common these days. An investigation was conducted by the Cyber Crime Unit in relation to the posting and sharing of explicit photos of young girls and women on social networking sites. The investigation focused on Facebook users who were sharing photos of women with other uses and posted on closed groups. Information was also received that someone was offering money for the photos and once sent, it is shared. It is an offence to trade for the purpose of distribution or public exhibition, pictures, photographs, films, or any other obscene objects, or any other object tending to corrupt morals.
Parents and guardians especially are being asked to talk to their children about the seriousness of getting involved in this activity, as it will obviously cause a lot of embarrassment when it ends up in the wrong hands. Those sharing the photos are advised to stop doing so, as those seen in the photos are clearly young girls who have taken photos of themselves and have shared it with another social media user.
Social media users must learn to exercise discretion with regards to the people they choose to interact with. It is also advisable to question the legitimacy of any social media user especially if you are not familiar with any information posted about them. The issue of fake profiles is real, and that is why we are always advising users to be cautious at all times.The following statistics shows a decrease of 67% in obscene publication in media.

Scams Members of the public were advised during the year on a number of scams whereby international calls and emails were being received by members of the public with regards to "Winning a Lottery". According to the Cyber Crime Unit, these communications were made from unknown individuals using international calling codes. To win a lottery, one has to take part in it otherwise any calls about winning a lottery is nothing more than a bogus call thus personal details such as an email address, bank account details, passwords and so forth should not be disclosed. Unknown international calls should be rejected and emails from unknown senders must not to be opened. Fiji Police is also working close in collaboration with other policing and law enforcement agencies, both here at home and internationally in strengthening and investigating these well-coordinated organized crimes and activities.
Fake notes Cases of fake notes have been investigated yet again particularly for $50 and $20 discovered mostly by cashiers, market vendors, and supermarkets.
