History

The Police Response Team, often called the PRT, is a special unit inside the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force. It was created to help keep the country safe when regular police officers need extra training or help during serious emergencies. The members are picked from the best officers and go through hard training to learn how to solve difficult problems. The team acts as a rapid response force that can travel quickly to any island in the country when there is trouble. They are trained in tactical maneuvers and how to protect important people. The unit works closely with other local police and sometimes gets advice from police teams in countries like Australia and New Zealand. They try to keep the peace and follow the law in a way that respects all the people living in the Solomon Islands. Being part of the PRT is seen as a very big responsibility.
