A total of 34 officers representing various Corrections Centres and sub-units across the country have been selected to participate in the 12-week professional development programme, aimed at strengthening leadership and operational capabilities within the Service.

The programme will be delivered in two phases, beginning with six weeks of face-to-face learning from 2 November to 11 December 2026, followed by a six-week institutional attachment at various FCS institutions.

In his opening address, Mr. Kacivi highlighted the important role NCOs play as frontline leaders, emphasising the need for professionalism, integrity, discipline and accountability in carrying out their responsibilities.

The course will focus on four key areas of NCO responsibilities: Physical Security, Procedural Security, Dynamic Security, and Leadership and Accountability. These areas are designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to effectively supervise officers, maintain institutional security and uphold the Service’s Standard Operating Procedures.

The programme reinforces the Fiji Corrections Service’s commitment to developing competent, disciplined and professional leaders who will contribute to strengthening institutional operations and advancing the Service’s rehabilitation mandate.
