Police Reform – 2000
2000
Intermediate Implementation 
The Townsville Peace Agreement called for restructuring of the Solomon Islands Police Force particularly to facilitate equal provincial representation. It further called for the re-incorporation of former police officers who participated in militant groups during the conflict. Although no significant restructuring policy was initiated in 2000, the Solomon Islands Police Force had restored many of the defecting officers (200 expected), and had recruited an additional 800 former combatants.[1]
