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.
