Abstract

This SOP provides instructions and guidance to the Police Division (PD) of the United Nations Department of Peace Operations (DPO) and UNPOL components of United Nations peacekeeping operations (PKOs) and special political missions (SPMs) on how to assess individual police officers, civilian policing experts and other types of personnel to be deployed against the requirements of this SOP for the service in PKOs, SPMs, and/or assignments. United Nations individual police officers and United Nations civilian policing experts may serve individually or as members of a Specialised Police Team (SPT). This SOP also provides guidance to Police-Contributing Countries (PCCs) on the pre-selection and training of individual police officers and civilian policing experts.
