Joint training, intelligence sharing and the threat of transnational crime are topics expected to be on the agenda for regional police chiefs.
Tony Annandale, executive director of the Pacific Islands Chiefs of Police Secretariat, said the annual conference was important for the region.
“Particularly in today’s environment. Particularly with transnational crime,” he told Radio Australia
“It’s important that the chiefs gets together and discuss issues both on a national basis and also more on a regional basis, about how they can help each other tackle issues such as transnational crime, but also to share ideas and initiatives that they have in their own individual jurisdictions that might be applicable in national jurisdictions of their colleagues,” he said.
