A chief from the Teouma area, just outside Port Vila, George Natau, said the allegations have arisen after the officers arrested some youths who had been terrorising the area.
He has acknowledged that police brutality cannot be accepted but he said the commissioner must also take into account the rights of the more than one thousand people who live at Teouma.
He said these young people, arrested last Thursday, had been sought by police since last year.
Chief Natau said they have threatened women and children in the public road.
