Aumoana Regional Law Enforcement Initiative Announced in Nuku’alofa, Tonga
Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) Todd D. Robinson joined the Pacific Islands Chiefs of Police (PICP) in announcing the Aumoana Regional Law Enforcement Initiative (ARLEI) during the first-ever U.S.-PICP Dialogue today in Nuku’alofa, Tonga.
This Palau-led, PICP-supported initiative will provide training and support to help our Pacific partners bolster law enforcement response to illicit maritime activities, which includes the trafficking of narcotics, wildlife, and people; illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing; and other illicit activity. Under ARLEI, the United States will continue the tradition of supporting the needs of our Pacific partners by ensuring that solutions are “by the Pacific, for the Pacific” and in coordination with our friends and allies in the region.
