SOP on assessment of Individual Police Officers for Service in UN peace operations (2011)
The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on assessment of Individual Police Officers for Service in UN peace operations provides instructions on how to assess if individual police officers from United Nations Member States (MS) fulfil the requirements for service in United Nations peacekeeping operations (PKO) or special political missions (SPM). This SOP also provides guidance and assistance to MSs in their pre-selection procedures.
All individual police officers from MSs must meet minimum requirements relating to age, medical fitness, professional experience, professional integrity, language
skills, mission-specific skills, computer skills4, driving skills, and firearms handling and shooting skills (for armed missions) to be selected for service in a PKO or SPM, as established in the 2007 Guidelines for United Nations Police Officers on Assignment with Peacekeeping Operations. In addition, the MSs have to ensure that deployed police officers are well equipped and trained.
