Na Solomonskim otocima se od 1998. do 2003. godine odvijao teški etnički konflikt, kada je intervencijom Australije i ostalih pacifičkih zemalja u zemlji uveden mir i red. Službeni naziv policije je Kraljevska policija Salamonskih otoka (Royal Solomon Islands Police (RSIP)) i njome upravlja Komesar, odgovoran ministru policije. Uz oko 1.050 pripadnika policije još uvijek radi i oko 250 pripadnika RAMSI-a, koji služe ne samo kao policajci već pomažu i logostički i financijski. U zemlji postoje 43 policijske stanice. Uz Nacionalnu policiju postoji i bar jedna lokalna, ona u glavnom gradu Honoria (Honoria City Constabulary). Policija je bila puno uspješnija pod direktnom upravom RAMSI-a i još su „slabi“ u istragama i pisanjima izvještaja. U policiji postoji služba za nadzor policijske discipline i efikasnosti.

      The Solomon Islands have known a heavy ethnic conflict between 1998 and 2003, in which Australia and other Pacific countries eventually intervened to restore peace and order. The nation has no standing army, however there is a national police force, the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF), and at least one local constabulary, in Honoria, the capital. A commissioner who reports to the minister of police heads the Royal Solomon Islands Police (RSIP) force of approximately 1,050 members. This force is supported by 250 RAMSI officers, who serve in line positions and in logistical and finance support. There were 43 police stations open throughout the country. While the police were more effective under RAMSI, the RSIP continued to be weak in investigation and reporting. The police service has an inspection unit to monitor police discipline and performance.
