Report any drug related incidents to Police; filming it for social media will not help address the problem.

This is the statement from Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations Livai Driu.

ACP Driu urged the public to lodge reports with Police so that action was taken.

“The problem is people capturing the videos of people using drugs and putting it on social media,” ACP Driu said.

“Lodge a report, there is a process where you can help instead of just posting videos up which will not help anyone,” he said.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) – Crime Sakeo Raikaci echoed similar sentiments.

However, he said for social media posts that garnered the attention of officers, they would ask the CID to do their investigation on them.

“For social media, we have to trace the ID of who is being exposed. We have the capabilities for that.

“For any issue popping out of social media we have processes too. We have asked our unit in the CID headquarters to do their investigation when something pops out of social media.”
