COVID-19 Police operations are being boosted with body cameras which are currently being used by officers based at the Police Special Response Unit.

Commissioner of Police, Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho says the PSRU Unit commanders deployed to oversee the operations of those manning the 101 static roadblocks are now equipped with the technology.

The body camera picks up a live feed of what the Officer sees which is transmitted back to the Police Special Response Unit Operations room.

Meanwhile sixty eight people were arrested last night for breaching the curfew hours.

Thirty seven were arrested in the Western Division, thirteen in the Southern Division and eighteen in the Eastern Division.

The sixty eight had no valid reasons to be out between 10 o’clock last night and 5 o’clock this morning when police queried their movements. They were consequently arrested and taken into custody.

Commissioner of Police Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho is again pleading with the public to adhere to the curfew to stay out of trouble, and protect the lives of Fijians and police officers at a time when physical distancing is vital.
