The RAMSI Participating Police Force (PPF) works together in partnership with the Solomon Islands Police Force (SIPF) at every level and in every province as part of the RAMSI mission. RAMSI has achieved the following:

- A 21-day firearms amnesty was announced in 2003 for the handing in of illegal weapons. The community's response was strong. Over 3,000 firearms and 300,000 rounds of ammunition were surrendered.

- Following the amnesty, further weapons have been surrendered or confiscated and now almost 4,000 firearms have been removed from the community and crime involving firearms has decreased considerably in Solomon Islands.
