The overall goal of the programme is to support these police services to have a prevention focussed strategic direction to reduce harm and increase community trust and confidence. The focus is to prevent crime before it happens, and keep communities safe. The programme is led by New Zealand Police.

PCLEC’s goal is to become the coordination and capability development mechanism of choice for Pacific Police Organisations and their external partners. PICP has set an 8 year timeframe from 2020 to achieve three critical outcomes:
- That Pacific police lead the design and delivery of operational engagement and the development of capabilities that its member organisations need.
- That external partners deliver their capability development support in coordination with PCLEC to ensure that all support provided is coherent and meets the needs of Pacific police.
- That the PICP and its member Pacific police organisations manage and administer PCLEC.
The AFP has supported the establishment of the PCLEC delivery coordination team which consists of five AFP members, 16 National Coordinators appointed by their Chiefs and four Seconded Pacific Police Officers.

PICP are working in partnership with the Global Road Safety Partnership (International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) to develop this programme of work and held a workshop in late 2019 for the Pacific Island Road Policing/Traffic Leads to support the development of those plans.
The future Road Policing collective will be action based and will look to support activity and identify what can be achieved domestically and where support can be given. It is envisaged that these forums will also support the Road policing component of any existing Prevention Operations Models (POMS) or strategies through the development of action plans.

The PICP WAN Exchange programme offers short-term development opportunities to both sworn and unsworn women from Pacific police services. The programme aims to enhance the careers of women in Pacific policing.
Seconded Pacific Officer Programme
The PICP Secondment programme was established following the 32nd Annual PICP Conference in 2003, where members agreed that the PICP Secretariat would be strengthened and invigorated to meet the objectives of the PICP Strategic Plan by hosting secondments of Pacific police service members.
Due to COVID-19 border closures, there are no secondments or exchanges available.
