The aim of these training materials is to provide police-contributing countries with a standardized training package that prepares their officers for duties in United Nations Peace Operations, including strategic guidance, United Nations policing concepts, protection of civilians, and human rights prior to their deployment. The training aims at turning capable police officers into competent peacekeepers who fulfil police aspects of United Nations Peace Operations mandates in accordance with Department of Peace Operations (DPO)/Department of Operational Support (DOS) principles and guidelines and their underlying international legal standards. Upon completing this course, police should be able to perform their police functions in an effective, professional, and integrated manner while demonstrating the core values and competencies of the United Nations. This training applies to all individual police officers (IPOs) selected by Member States who meet the selection criteria set by the DPO Police Division (PD).
