Introduction:

United Nations peace operations are frequently mandated to assist in the reform, restructuring and rebuilding of national law enforcement agencies in conflict and post-conflict situations.

Organizational structure of law enforcement agencies is frequently in disarray, with no particular focus on service to the community at large, often resulting in enforcement agencies losing their primacy in maintaining law and order.

The United Nations through the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) policies defines and describes methodologies to conduct standardized practices of policing for United Nations police officers (UNPOL) in their capacities as advisor's, mentors, trainers and monitors in peace operations as they assist in the reform, restructuring and rebuilding of local law enforcement agencies.

DPKO is the operational arm for all United Nations peacekeeping operations, and is responsible for the conduct, management, direction, planning and preparation of those operations. It develops plans and methodologies for peacekeeping operations (Office of Operations, Military Division and Civil Police Division); secures, through negotiations with governments, the personnel and equipment required for operations; provides logistical and administrative support for operations and political or humanitarian missions; proposes resource requirements, and monitors and controls funds related to peacekeeping activities.

  1. Individual police officers
