Fuiavailili Egon Keil

Fuiavailili Egon Lincoln Keil (born ~1965)[1] was Samoa's Police Commissioner from March 2015 to August 2021.

[2] He served for 17 years with the LAPD, rising to the rank of Assistant Watch Commander.

[7] Keil's attempts at reform led to discontent within the police force, and in December 2015 an anonymous letter was sent to the prime minister and government officials alleging the police were being run "like a military base".

[8] In August 2016 Keil was charged with perjury, unlawful detention, providing false statements, and disorderly conduct over the arrest of a man by armed police in 2015.

[11] All charges were dropped due to lack of evidence in November 2016,[12] but during his suspension 40 police officers signed a petition of no confidence against him.

[23] During the 2021 Samoan constitutional crisis Keil accompanied Chief Justice Satiu Simativa Perese to the locked doors of parliament as a sign of support for the rule of law.
