The Royal Samoa Police Band (RSPB) is the musical police band of the Samoa Police Service. Being that Samoa has no standing army (the New Zealand Defence Force is responsible for defense country), it is the chief unit of the state to support the government with music.[1] As such, it plays at official police ceremonies, as well as ceremonies of state. It serves as a key component in some of the Ministry of Police's Community Engagement Programs.[2] The band marches in traditional Samoan Lavalavas.[3]
