Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravau states the lack of police response has been a problematic area, with managers at the frontline reminded to treat all reports with urgency.

He made the comments after a social media video this morning showed a man at a woman’s house, asking for food. The post stated Police were called but there was no response.

“After the video was shared, the Divisional Police Commander West had personally contacted the complainant whereby a report was lodged this morning,” said a Police statement.

“The victim was advised and assured that officers are searching for the suspect who has previously been charged for similar breaches and produced in court.”

Commissioner Tudravu has assured members of the public of concerted efforts to address basics of policing that continue to drag the organisation back.
