RESPONSIBILITIES: The Community Policing Adviser will report to a Team Leader of the Standing Police Capacity (SPC), a UN Police mechanism for starting up police components in UN peace operations as well as assisting existing operations on a continual basis. It is envisaged that the incumbent will deploy to missions and be away from his/her duty station for variable durations, depending on operational needs. The incumbent will be responsible for developing and implementing a wide variety of community oriented policing principles and programmes as required within the terms of reference of respective SPC assignments in alignment with relevant United Nations policies, doctrines, directives, and guidelines related to Community-Oriented Policing and the Protection of Civilians (PoC). When at headquarters in Brindisi s/he will study and isolate best practices in community oriented policing at the national and international levels with a view to formulating precise activities that the SPC can support once deployed on the ground, noting the primary rationale of UN Police which is to build institutional police capacity in countries and environments affected by conflicts and post-conflict environments. This work will include developing and regularly updating a Community oriented Policing Conceptual and Operational Framework in collaboration with the Police Division of the Department of Peace Operations and UN Police operations in the field. S/he will identify potential new and existing field operations wherein either community oriented policing pilots and other programmes can be implemented by the UN in co-operation with relevant international and national partners, including donors, or where existing community oriented policing programmes can be enhanced and/or expanded with the special assistance and know-how of the SPC. When deployed in the field missions, the Community Policing Adviser will work closely with UN Police and other police-support and rule of law actors in the mission area to advise and support local law enforcement with community oriented policing activities. This work will involve making recommendations on how local law enforcement should be organized, structured, trained and resourced to support community oriented policing at all levels, with a particular focus towards enhancing the protection of civilians, particularly in conflict-affected environments where violence and crime often target women, children and other vulnerable groups.
