"Security for All Fijians" Priority, Says ACP Raikaci

The Fiji Police Force hopes to see an increase in its operations budget in the next financial year.

This was highlighted by Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime Sakeo Raikaci yesterday.

ACP Raikaci said their priority was the security of all Fijians.

“We are hopeful that government will be giving us a good budget to assist us in fighting drugs, crime,” ACP Raikaci said.

“We are thinking of relooking into how the government will give us the money to assist in our war against drugs and the criminal activities almost every month it increases,” he said.

“Our priority is to provide security to all Fijians, they should give us a good budget to assist us do our best.”

ACP Raikaci said Fijians needed to make the drug issue their business.

“It should be the concern of the public as a whole, for the Fiji Police Force we are building up in the war against drugs so for me it is the approach, the approach to find who is dealing drugs is everyone’s business,” ACP Raikaci said.

“Last weekend, I was speaking to some youths in Tailevu, I asked them to be responsible in the security of their district, province.

“Everybody must take that responsibility.

“The heart to call out wrong doings, the tikina, the village, the yasana, etc.”

He urged parents to make time for their children, to talk about the impacts of drugs on their lives.

“It must begin from home, the Police is only the end result.”
