In November 2006, rioting broke out in the Tongan capital Nuku'alofa, causing widespread and severe damage to buildings and vehicles. A 45 strong contingent of New Zealand Police Officers were deployed to provide an efficient and effective contribution to the recovery efforts and to help investigate crimes committed during the rioting and also to provide support to frontline Police in the Community. Since then a small contingent of NZ Police Officers have maintained in and around Nuku'alofa to help support Tonga Police.
