Police Division POLICE DIVISION PROTECT AND SERVE TO BUILD PEACE AND SECURITY Conflict and post-conflict countries are often characterized by a collapse of public law and order. The presence of United Nations Police contributes to restoring popular confidence in the host-state police and rule of law structures. The United Nations has deployed police since 1960. Today, more than 13,000 United Nations Police are deployed in 19 United Nations missions: 12 peacekeeping operations led by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and seven special political missions led by the Department of Political Affairs. SUPPORT FOR THE REFORM, RESTRUCTURING AND REBUILDING OF HOST STATE POLICE United Nations Police help to reform, restructure and rebuild national police services. These tasks can include: undertaking census of police personnel; vetting, training and certifying police and other law enforcement officials; advising national counterparts on restructur- ing and assisting with the drafting of policies and legal frameworks. In some cases, UN Police help rebuild services from the ground up, following years of conflict. OPERATIONAL SUPPORT Individual Police Officers and Formed Police Units mentor and help train national police officers in all aspects of policing including inves- tigations, election security, operational support and public order management. Under exceptional circumstances, in host-states with no functioning police, UN Police are called upon to assume full responsibility for policing and law enforcement activities, until the host-state can takeover core policing tasks. ORGANIZED CRIME AND ANTI-CORRUPTION Organized crime, including trafficking, terrorism and financial fraud, is a major peace spoiler. UN Police are increasingly involved in- en hancing national capacities to counter organized crime and corruption. Activities undertaken include the establishment of transnational crime units in national police services, training national specialists in strategic planning, financial investigations, forensics and other vital skills. UN Police work closely with, among others, INTERPOL and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). THE POLICE DIVISION The Police Division is made up of three sections: the Selection & Recruitment Section, which is responsible for the recruitment and rota- tion of the thousands of UN Police deployed; the Mission Management & Support Section, which backstops all UN Police field compo- nents; and the Strategic Policy & Development Section, which develops concepts of operations, technical guidance and strategic planning. UNPOL Department of Peacekeeping Operations / Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions STANDING POLICE CAPACITY The Police Division also includes a Standing Capacity of 40 specialized police officers. They are based in the UN Global Service Centre in Brindisi, Italy and are able to travel quickly to help start new UN missions, reinforce existing missions or assist special requests from governments or UN entities.

  • 9 Interpol and the Emergence of Global Policing
    Stalcup, Meg. 2013. “Interpol and the Emergence of Global Policing.” In Policing and Contemporary Governance: The Anthropology of Police in Practice. ed. William Garriott, 231- 261. New York: Palgrave MacMillan. Reproduced with permission of Palgrave Macmillan. This extract is taken from the author's original manuscript and has not been edited. The definitive version of this piece may be found in Policing and Contemporary Governance edited by William Garriott, which can be purchased from http://www.palgrave.com. 9 Interpol and the Emergence of Global Policing Meg Stalcup Introduction “The New Interpol is not simply a collection of databases and communication networks,” said Secretary General Ronald K. Noble to national representatives at Interpol’s 2002 annual assembly.1 “You have heard me use the expression—the Interpol police family. It is an expression that we wish to turn into reality” (Noble 2002). The organization, dedicated to police cooperation, had previously taken four to six months to transmit even high-profile requests for arrest between member nations. Notices were sent as photocopies, mailed by the cheapest and lowest priority postage available (ibid.).2 Modernization and reorganization, however, had just cut the time for priority notices to a single day. The Secretary General’s call for “police family” named the organization’s ambition to create fellowship through these exchanges. Interpol is not a police force. Neither national nor international laws are enforced by Interpol directly, nor do staff and seconded police officers working under its name make a state’s claim to the right of physical coercion (vide Weber), or to powers of investigation and arrest.

  • S/2018/1183 Security Council
    United Nations S/2018/1183 Security Council Distr.: General 31 December 2018 Original: English United Nations policing Report of the Secretary-General Summary In its resolution 2382 (2017), the Security Council requested that I submit a report on United Nations policing by the end of 2018. The present report, which is my third report on United Nations policing and my second report to the Council on this subject (see A/66/615 and S/2016/952), addresses: (a) the implications for the delivery of policing mandates stemming from the restructuring of the Secretariat’s peace and security architecture; (b) the strengthening of the operational and policy coherence of United Nations policing within the United Nations system; (c) the augmenting of the Organization’s capability, accountability and transparency; (d) planning for strategic police generation gaps and key skill sets; (e) initiatives to improve mission transitions and timely exits; and (f) the strengthening of partnerships between the United Nations and international, regional and subregional organizations. The report also outlines the recent successes of United Nations policing and the Police Division of the Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions, which will form part of the future Department of Peace Operations, and reflects on the essential role that United Nations police play in sustaining peace and implementing the Action for Peacekeeping initiative. The observations at the end of the report are intended to ensure that United Nations police can better respond to the increasingly complex demands placed upon them, while strengthening the role of the Police Division in discussions and processes related to peace, security and development.
