Certainly worn by Tonga Police at one time. The current Tonga Police badge is the same design (but larger) and is named "Tonga Police".

You may find that your illustrated version was also worn (and still may be) be the Tonga Defence Force.

Don't know if this helps, this badge is similar to yours. Tonga Defence Force, Tonga Maritime Force.
