The Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) has been increasingly deploying Formed Police Units (FPU’s) in United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations. Their core tasks are:
FPU should undertake their duties in accordance with the Policy on Formed Police Units in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (2010), the Guidelines for Formed Police Units on Assignment with Peace Operations and the mission specific Directives on detention, searches and use of force for members of Formed Police Units, as well as adhering to internationally recognized criminal justice standards and human rights norms and standards and upholding the highest levels of democratic principles of policing.
Insurance of appropriate skills and competencies, normally provided or supplemented during pre-deployment training, is a national responsibility. However, based on the identified training gaps and on operational experience this standardized pre-deployment curriculum for FPU shall facilitate the implementation of training standards for those Police Contributing Countries deploying FPUs (currently 21) to UN Peacekeeping Operations.
