The Pacific Islands Chiefs of Police (PICP) was founded in 1970 in Suva, Fiji and is one of the oldest regional bodies in the Pacific.

There are 22 members in the PICP, with the Commissioner, Chief or Director of Police of each national police service representing the member state.

We acknowledge with great sadness the recent passing of Chief Stephen Ignacio of the Guam Police Department, and honour his life and service.

Chief Ignacio represented Guam with great distinction and was held in the highest regard by his peers across the region. His service, leadership, and commitment to our region will not be forgotten.

At this difficult time, our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues, and all those who had the privilege of working alongside him.
