The Police Commissioner is supporting an Interpol base in the Pacific, and says many pacific nations are also on board.  

Interpol has pitched the idea to police representatives from 22 Pacific Island nations at a conference in Waitangi, in the Bay of Islands.  

Richard Chambers says 13 of the countries are already members of Interpol.  

He told Mike Hosking it would be a big help to those police forces.  

Chambers says it provides them with information and intelligence to fight crime.
