It has witnessed numerous positive developments and confidently makes progress towards achieving the desired objectives.
The FPA is characterized by the diversity in various training aspects and its staff ensures that the institution keeps abreast with all developments in the police organization.

This diversity enables recruit constable officers to be capable of undertaking a wide variety of tasks and duties upon graduation.

The Academy is considered a notable example of success among its national, regional and international counterparts.
In line with the Fijian Government’s reform; the Fiji Police Force aligns to the 10-year plan to a 5-year “modernization” plan.

In doing so, an increase to the number of recruits intake along with the continuous recruitment drives to all Divisions around Fiji is noted almost doubling the police presence within 5 years.

Besides, we also continue to maintain Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Fiji Police Force and the other Regional countries Police Force such as Nauru and Tuvalu.
These agreements further enhance capacity building, strengthening people to people exchanges and training opportunities offered by the Fiji Police Force.

The Academy continues to serve the training needs of police officers of the Fiji Police Force.

Additionally, it provides training on ‘need’ basis in other fields as required.

In the fiscal year July 2018 to August 2019, the FPA provided 16 courses and 8 workshops for police officers and for interested stakeholders.
A total of 1,446 individuals received training within the fiscal year.

The academy was not able to accommodate a few courses (Corporals Course, Investigator’s Course Level III and Investigators Course Level IV) due to the busy schedule and the introduction of unplanned courses/workshops.

Community Policing, Catholic Church, Methodist Church Know Your Neighbour Neighbourhood Watch is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most effective crime prevention programs the Fiji Police Force has with the members of the community dating back to the early 90’s.
This program draws the members of the public and the Fiji Police Force together to make the communities safer.

It empowers the communities to take the lead role in securing their belonging and help to look out for one another.

The program puts aside differences between the community members for the sole purpose of securing their homes and their neighbour’s property.

It does not only help the community fight crime but fosters cooperation with one another.
So the Neighbourhood Watch program not only bridges the gap between the Police and public but also improves and brings together people in the community.

Neighbourhood watch committees are encouraged not to assume the role of the police in enforcing crime but to inform neighbours to be alert, observant, and to immediately report suspicious activity or crimes to the police.

This scheme was launched for the committees to be the eyes and ears of the police.
The formation of the crime prevention committees were initiated by the police as the community groups have created viber groups as a means of communication within the community.

Residents are alerted through the social media appli- cation of any unusual activities or suspicious movement of people.

This is primarily due to the consis- tent access to large numbers of children in a school and it is where most crime-prone young children in the early school years can be identified and addressed (nipping at the bud).

This program recognizes commitment from the school administrators, teachers, staff, community and business mem- bers, parents, and the students in the Fight Against Crime.
The crime prevention groups are for students to take the lead role in the crime prevention whereby all the stakeholders could be engaged in the identification of problem areas, assessment of school needs, and the development and implementation of solutions.

This is all in the interest of fighting crimes and improving the lives of the children to be free from ill – will effects of crime and victimizations.

This year, the program has empowered the lives of many students.
There have been several requests received from schools around the country.

Awareness covers the issues of drugs, sexual offences and cybercrimes in villages and settlements.
Fiji Police Band performing at a pass out parade Vodafone mSafe Program The recent mSafe channel, developed between the Vodafone Fiji and the Fiji Police Force is a text message platform that allows people to access information and communicate with police by SMS text message if there is an issue in their area.

The program is a tool for preventing and detecting crime which is accessible to the community.

This program was launched during the 2019 Valentine’s Day with a slogan “Love for Communities”.
The mSafe SMS channel helps improve safety of the community by sharing alerts and key information.

This new collaboration between the Fiji Police Force and Vodafone Fiji Limited is a preventive initiative for information sharing, empowering members of the community and strengthening police-public-partnership.

Members of the communities are encouraged to subscribe to the mSafe Vodaphones app *679# option 1 subs.

The Forensic Science Services Division (FSSD) is mandated to assist the Fiji Police Force, Judiciary and the people of Fiji in conducting forensic analysis.
Analysts provide technical assistance and training, evaluate and analyse evidence, interpret results, and provide expert testimony related to the full spectrum of physical evidence recovered from the crime scenes.The FSS houses six units namely: Crime Scene Investigation, Criminal Re- cords Office, Forensics Fingerprints, Forensic Pathology, Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Biology.

The achievements of each of these units are discussed in detail below.
Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) The Crime Scene Investigation Unit comprises the Crime Scene Office, the Digital Imaging Lab and the Fingerprint Of- fice.

The Unit had a major renovation works during the year in elevating the standards of the working environment.

The table below summarises the Key Performance Indicators and achievements during the year.

This increase is also reflected in the total weight of cannabis processed for the year.

Cannabis cases still make up majority of the case type received with 78.2% of cas- es received during the review period.
There is, however, an escalation of illicit drug cases which makes up around 7% of the cases received and also a steady increase in the demand for alcohol and toxicology tests in biological samples.

One of the major developments in the prosecution and judicial system was the setting of sentencing tariffs for hard drugs in Fiji by the Fiji Court of Appeal.
The Fiji Court of Appeal had increased the sentence of an Australian National and a Fijian man convicted of unlawful possession of illicit drugs from 14 years to 25 years imprisonment and set the first sentencing tariffs for hard drugs in Fiji.
The state also requested the Court of Appeal to lay down sentencing guidelines for all hard drugs such as cocaine, her- oin and methamphetamine and submitted that the sentence should be primarily based on the number of drugs rather than the role of individual offenders.
Having considered all the submissions and judicial pronouncements in Fiji and in other jurisdictions, the Court of Appeal had set down the following sentencing tariffs for all hard drugs as: • • • • • Category 1 Up to 5 grams 2 ½ years to 4 ½ years’ imprisonment.

Category 2 More than 5 grams to 250 grams 3 ½ years to 10 years’ imprisonment.

Category 3 More than 250 grams to 500 grams 9 years to 16 years’ imprisonment.

Category 4 More than 500 grams to 1 kilogram 15 years to 22 years’ imprisonment.
Category 5 More than 1 kilogram 20 years to life imprisonment.

The Court of Appeal further stated that the sentencing court should consider an appropriate fine in addition to the impris- onment as permitted under section 5 of the Illicit Drugs Control Act 2004 depending on the quantity involved, nature of the act and the degree of involvement of the accused.
