AFijian Police officer has secured a threeyear scholarship offered by the People’s Republic of China.
Inspector Mavis Fatiaki will study at the People’s Public Security University of China and is the second member of the Fiji Police Force to receive the scholarship.
The university offers studies in law, foreign languages, literature, criminal investigation, criminology, management, information security, traffic control, forensic science.
Director International Relations Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ulaiasi Ravula said the institution was extremely grateful to be given another opportunity to send an officer to study in China.
“We have forged a close working relationship with the Ministry of Public Security and any opportunity given to up-skill and expand the knowledge of our officers will always be appreciated,” he said.
“IP Fatiaki had successfully completed our three-year cadetship and held the post of Station Officer Vunidawa for the last two years and as an up and coming officer she will be given this opportunity to broaden her knowledge of policing with one of the world’s leading learning institutions.”
Having only served for five years, Inspector Fatiaki thanked the Commissioner of Police for selecting her to represent the institution.
“I will not only be representing the Fiji Police Force, but Fiji and I will give my best to learn as much as possible to further my policing career so that I can better serve the people of Fiji,” she said. In 2011 the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of Fiji signed a Police Co-operation Agreement, which has resulted in the two Police organisations exchange assistance in many forms.
Inspector Fatiaki left Fiji on Friday.
