Policing

The Mission helps the host country develop a community-oriented police service in line with democratic principles and international human rights standards. This includes the furthering of police reform and assistance with the professionalization of the police. It offers customized training courses for police officials on issues such as the fight against organized crime and terrorism, preventive policing and how to deal with inter-ethnic problems. The Mission also supports the country’s police training centre and helps strengthen the relationship between the police and the media.
