Fiji's Police Commissioner Ben Groenewald has resigned and been replaced by Fiji's land force commander Colonel Sitiveni Qiliho as Acting Police Commissioner.
Groenewald told the ABC he was not happy with the way the Fiji military was interfering with policing.
The South African took up the job in May last year.
His departure was indirectly due to a standoff with the military over policing matters, he said.
Groenewald, who described himself as a true-blooded policeman, said he was not satisfied with the way they interfered.
