'Aminiasi Kefu and the Pacific Island Law Officers' Network hosted a cybercrime in Nuku'alofa last week.
Mr Kefu said the gathering came up with four main priorities - update legislation, build capacity for law enforcement, public-private industry cooperation and community awareness.
He said revenge porn was a relatively new phenomenon.
"Where relationships have gone sour and the angry partner has decided to upload personal and private photos and it is not only between a boyfriend and a girlfriend but there are also cases where wives have disclosed footage of mistresses and that sort of thing and it is something that is quite new to law enforcement," he said
'Aminiasi Kefu said online child abuse also requires urgent attention.
