Law enforcement in Vanuatu

Law enforcement in Vanuatu

Vanuatu has a small mobile military force as well as a National Police Service, the Ni-Vanuatu Police or Vanuatu Police Force (VPF), headquartered in Port Vila.

Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Coulton of the army, known as the Vanuatu Mobile Force, was sworn in as the acting police commissioner in 2002 and Vanuatu's new Police Commissioner is Lieutenant Colonel Patu Lui.

Vanuatu has provided police officers to the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands since July 2003. Ni-Vanuatu police officer Benson Samuels is contingent commander of the ni-Vanuatu police serving as part of RAMSI's Participating Police Force (PPF).
