Fiji and the United Kingdom have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation in policing, with a focus on leadership development and tackling transnational crime.

The commitment was highlighted during a meeting between Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu and Acting British High Commissioner to Fiji Steph Lysaght at the Fiji Police Headquarters this morning.

British High Commission Counsellor Josh Kemp also attended the meeting.

Lysaght reaffirmed the British Government’s support for leadership training through the College of Policing, a programme that has already provided frontline, emerging and executive-level training to more than 100 Fiji Police officers in both Fiji and the United Kingdom.

The British Government has also supported officer training and curriculum development for transnational crime programmes delivered at the Fiji Police Academy.

Commissioner Tudravu thanked the British Government for its longstanding partnership in supporting Fiji’s law enforcement and security efforts.

He said the continued commitment to officer development aligns with his strategic vision of strengthening professionalism across the Fiji Police Force.

He also acknowledged the value of leadership training conducted locally, noting that more than 100 officers from all five policing divisions have benefited from the programme.
