Police to relook at the deployment of officers in red zones

COMPOL directs Ops Team to be aggressive in their approach in enforcing offences after assault along Butt Street

Police Commissioner, Rusiate Tudravu confirms he has directed the Operations Team to relook at the deployment of officers during the weekends after a video emerged of a man getting beaten up by four men along Butt Street in the heart of Suva.

The man is seen getting hit in the middle of the street, and he was assaulted again by the four men when he is on the ground before the four rob him and walk away.

Some people are seen standing on the side of the road while a video seems to have been captured by a vehicle dashcam.

Questions have been raised on why more Police officers are not on beat patrol around the main nightspots in the country.

Commissioner Tudravu says they have to be aggressive in their approach in enforcing minor offences such as drinking in public places, drunk and disorderly behaviour etc, ensuring red zone areas are properly covered.

He says while there was no report of the incidents over the last weekend, they are trying to confirm if the incident is recent or not.
