Tonga Police held a ceremonial farewell parade on the 1st August 2025 to honour the retirement of Superintendent Saimone Fifita, commemorating over 40 years of exemplary service to the Kingdom of Tonga. The occasion also coincided with Superintendent Fifita’s 60th birthday, making the milestone all the more meaningful. The event was attended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Tupoutoʻa ʻUlukalala, the Honourable Minister of Police Paula Piveni Piukala, members of the Tonga Police Executive, dignitaries, family members, and colleagues, an esteemed gathering that reflected the deep respect and high regard in which Superintendent Fifita is held. Superintendent Fifita began his policing career on 1 July 1985 as a Probationary Constable in Recruit Wing 18. Rising through the ranks over the decades, he became the last member of his recruit wing to retire, serving most recently as District Commander of Police District 2. His diverse career saw him hold key leadership roles across the Criminal Investigation Division, Police Mobile Unit, Prosecutions, the Tonga Police College, and various strategic departments. Renowned for his discipline, integrity, and mentorship, Superintendent Fifita was instrumental in shaping future generations of officers particularly through his respected role as a drill master. His dedication to professional development saw him complete advanced law enforcement training in criminal investigations, digital forensics, instructor development, and leadership across regional and international institutions in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. Commissioner of Police Geoff Turner paid tribute to his outstanding career, stating: “𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐚’𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.
