Tonga-Australia Policing Partnership program
We have been delivering policing assistance in Tonga since 2006. We lead the Tonga-Australia Policing Partnership (TAPP) capability building program that aims to:
- enhance national security
- improve frontline response to survivors of family violence
- strengthen capacity and capability for ethical and effective policing.
TAPP supports the Tongan Police to achieve its goal of becoming a 'trusted and respected policing service that works in partnership to reduce crime and build safe and secure communities'.
