Five more Fiji Correction officers were terminated today following positive drug test results.
FCS Commissioner Dr Jalesi Nakarawa has reiterated that his team remained committed to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards.
“Any officer violating our strict no-drug policy will face the full consequences of their actions. The safety, security, and credibility of our institution depend on the discipline and integrity of our officers,” he said.
“The FCS’s random drug testing initiative is part of its ongoing efforts to ensure a drug-free work environment and reinforce public confidence in the corrections system. Officers are subject to unannounced drug screenings, and those who test positive are dealt with accordingly.
“FCS will continue to implement stringent measures to deter drug use, including increased officer testing and awareness programs. He urged all personnel to uphold their duties with honour and responsibility, reminding them of their critical role in rehabilitating and reintegrating offenders.”
Dr Nakarawa said reaffirmed their zero-tolerance stance on drug use among its personnel, emphasizing the importance of maintaining integrity and professionalism within the Service.
“The FCS remains committed to ensuring that all its personnel adhere to the laws and policies governing their conduct, and it will not hesitate to take decisive action against any breaches.”
