United Nations Police

United Nations Police (UNPOL) is a specialized unit within the UN that helps maintain peace and security in countries transitioning from conflict or crisis. They work alongside local authorities to support rule of law, provide training, build police capabilities, and promote respect for human rights. UNPOL officers often operate in challenging environments to ensure safety, prevent violence, and assist in establishing functioning, accountable police services. Their goal is to help countries develop sustainable, trusted policing systems that support stability and the rule of law for long-term peace.
