Enhancing Fiji Police Operations with GIS Implementation
The Fiji Police Force is integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance policing operations through improved situational awareness, crime trend analysis, resource deployment, and cost savings. By investing in GIS technology, the force aims to optimize efficiency, decision-making, and overall operational effectiveness. The strategic roadmap emphasizes capacity development to address evolving security challenges and ensure effective law enforcement in Fiji. GIS offers benefits such as cost savings through operational optimization and better decision-making processes. This investment reflects the force's commitment to modernize and transform policing for a safer community.

FIJI POLICE FORCE IMPORTANCE/IMPACT OF GIS & RETURN OF INVESTMENT ON FPF POLICE OPERATIONS 29 JANUARY 2020
SCOPE INTRODUCTION GIS FPF OBJECTIVES BENEFITS/IMPORTANCE OF GIS RETURN OF INVESTMENT WAY FORWARD CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION The Fiji Police Force 2011 - 2050 Strategic Roadmap is founded on the theme of Nation Building through Transformed, Modernized and Enhanced Policing . One of the main agendas of the Strategic Roadmap is Capacity Development. This agenda recognizes the need for the FPF to develop its operational and optimum effectiveness level in order to counter current and emerging threats in the security environment. This would enhance police operations, in line with e-gov. concept.
INTRODUCTION The evolving security landscape has thus driven the FPF to invest in GIS . This should allow end users to visualize, question, analyze, and interpret data to understand relationships, patterns, and trends in Fiji s criminal landscape. Therefore, GIS will play a key role for the Fiji Police Force in shaping our policing mandate for the future.
GIS MAIN OBJECTIVES From the policing perspective, GIS should be able to assist our police men and women in : a. Improving situational awareness, b. discovering and analyzing crime trends and patterns, and c. deploying our resources more effectively.
BENEFITS OF GIS FOR FIJI POLICE GIS will benefit the FPF and will add value to Policing Operations through: I. Cost Savings from Greater Efficiency GIS will be widely used to optimize maintenance schedules and daily fleet movements. Typical implementations can result in a savings of 10 to 30 percent in operational expenses through reduction in fuel use and staff time, improved customer service, and more efficient scheduling.

BENEFITS OF GIS FOR FIJI POLICE III. Improved Communication GIS-based maps and visualizations greatly assist in understanding situations and in storytelling. They communication departments, organizations, and the public. are a type of language that improves teams, fields, between disciplines, different professional
BENEFITS OF GIS FOR FIJI POLICE IV. Better Record Keeping Fiji Police Records on its Community jurisdictions will have more integrity than other authority in the communities it serves in its records about the status and change of geography. GIS provides a strong framework for managing these types of records with full transaction support and reporting tools.
BENEFITS OF GIS FOR FIJI POLICE V. Managing Geographically GIS is will be essential in understanding what is happening and what will happen in geographic space. Once we understand, we can prescribe action. This new approach to geographically will transform the way the Fiji Police operates. management managing
BENEFITS OF GIS FOR FIJI POLICE VI. Strengthen Intelligence Led A well-established crime data collection system will strengthen Intelligence Led Policing operations.
BENEFITS OF GIS FOR FIJI POLICE VII. Strengthen Public trust in Statistics A well-defined system will enable accurate collation and analysis of crime data which will result in a more extensive and presentable crime statistics. Credibility is the litmus test to any data and statistics disclosure.
BENEFITS OF GIS FOR FIJI POLICE VIII. Enhance Policy, Research & Development A true assessment of the various crimes will enable a more informative write publications which confirm to best practices and policies in law enforcement. In addition, it will be better utilized to justify budgetary allocations/needs and resource allocation within the Force. up of the relevant
RETURN OF INVESTMENT 1. Economic Development 2. Compliance 3. Increased productivity 4. Integration with Org. systems & workflows 5. Reduction of Costs 6. Achievements of KPIs
WAY FORWARD 1. Pursue a well established GIS Platform for Police Operations 2. Strengthen Integration & Coordination with relevant GIS Stakeholders
CONCLUSION As technology is used to commit more sophisticated crimes, Fiji Police should embrace technology to combat crime. This is to keep the public safe and protect human life. Thus, it is important that police pursue and obtain cutting edge software, tracking systems and advanced devices to counter the ever evolving criminal landscape.
