The programme included police from the Cook Islands, Kiribati, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga and Solomon Islands, Australia and New Zealand.
PNG chief inspector Sylvia Reu, says she has learned a lot that will help her in her role back home.
Ms Reu says there are only around 11 women in senior ranks within the PNG police force.
"So being in that senior rank, it's difficult to actually get not so much the support but the respect from our male colleagues. But it's something that we've embarked on with the help of our partners. We get a lot of assistance from New Zealand, from Australia and yeah, so in terms of taking this leadership training back - we learnt about conflict management and applying those things. It's really helpful."
Inspector Patricia Leta from the Royal Solomon Islands Police says they discussions will help them tackle key problems within their organisations.
"We have identified police response as a major problem back home. So there are lots of tools that we learned during the course that will help me and my colleagues to improve the way we respond back to police reports throughout the country."
Kiribati Assistant Commissioner Eeri Aritiera agrees.
"The major challenge with the Kiribati community is high crime and domestic violence. That's one of the challenge issues in the Kiribati police. I think by applying those skills and knowledge that came from this course, we can manage those challenges."
Waata Shepherd, from the Pacific Islands Chiefs of Police secretariat says the regional conferences and workshops are valuable for the development of their organisations.
"It's all the main traits of leadership and what it all means and give them some practical scenarios in terms of how to implement them when they return back. They have raised some issues, some practical scenarios around leadership which are all relevant to the particular learnings that they have which the facilitator addressed."
The two-week course was a part of a collaboration between the United Kingdom College of Policing, the Australian Federal Police and New Zealand Police.
