Senior police officers available 24/7

Senior police officers in all stations around Nadi are now providing their contact details for the public at large to call if they cannot get through to any police station or post when trying to report a crime.
This is an effort to reduce the number of complaints.
The Nadi Police station was the first to do so after the Fiji Police Force had earlier published all its senior management’s phone contacts in the media. Station Officer in charge, Assistant Superintendent of Police Simione Bale said this was a way to curb the increasing number of complaints against police officers.
“I admit that there are a lot of complaints against the Service in the Nadi area, which is mainly because of poor service delivery, whereby police officers cannot be contacted on time or for feedbacks. There are times when we have fallen short of delivering to the standards of the organisation and members of the public,” ASP Bale said.
He said things would now change after senior police officers published their mobile numbers to help members of the public report a crime or suspicious activity.
Police Commissioner Brigadier – General Ioane Naivalurua said police officers, as professionals providing a service should be approachable, contactable and reachable at all hours of the day.
The mobile phone numbers are –
• ASP Simione Bale – Officer in Charge Nadi – 9905599
• IP Apete Rokolui – Station officer Nadi – 9905436
• Sgt Abdul Roneel – Station Sergeant Nadi – 9904560
• Sgt Sanaila Rogora – Welfare Officer Nadi – 8726420
• IP Maciu Vava – Crime Officer Nadi – 9904267
• Sgt Mesake Varo – Traffic Officer Nadi – 9904767

  2. This is after six long, long years under a military regime and with the commissioner a military appointee and current or former military officer??!! Oh dear…. who will they blame this on now?? Or have they now spun this as ‘we are still part of the solution’. Well boys..u have had how long to work your magic??

  3. This is a very good move to not only keep the senior police officers on their toes but also to make them accountable if there is inaction by the police.

    Vinaka Voreqe Bainimarama.

  4. ha ha ha this is really funny man.

    instead of the tepelphone and reception policeman now the senior police have been turned into telephone receptionist job.

    This is another dictators reform aha ha aha

  5. So… the Police are not answering their phones, dialling 000 does nothing for anyone, so THIS is their idea?

    So why doesn’t any other country do this?

    Oh, yeah, I remember. It’s called corruption and accountability.

    Idiotic.

  7. ‘Vinaka Voreqe Bainimarama’…what a suck arse…….it is like being told by your rapist you should be grateful , then him demanding you thank him for his attention. Bainimarama does not have the luxury of blaming previous govenrments for any ills when he has held power for 6 years. To then thank him for requiring the police to do their job is a joke.

  8. Hi I would like to make a complaint about this police officer swearing in the phone when I phone to ask him a question. His name was jynesh and he is in nadi branch.he was so rude on the phone. Very dissapointed with his behavior what can you guys do with him if not than email me where I can phone to put a complaint against him.thank you.hope to hhear from you soon.

  9. I wanted to invest in Nadi fij and found a property to buy, a solicitor took my deposit without the sellers signatures on the selling contract and not refunding my money. I also got warnings and threats from some Fijian guy’s and police did not take my report and did not do any thing to get my money back they only told me that the solicitor can’t hold your money and he has to refund it but they refused to take my report down. I asked them to give me in writing that you are not taking my report. They gave me a lot of run around and did not give me in writing. I don’t know what to do
