    Specialized Police Teams in UN Peace Operations: A Survey of Progress and Challenge

    This report analyses Specialized Police Teams (SPTs) deployed in UN missions meant for capacity building of local forces, in contrast with individually seconded officers and formed police units meant for enforcement. It first describes the benefits of SPTs in their results-focused capacity building, then goes into the challenges faced in their composition and deployment due to issues of supply, funding, and consistency before concluding with recommendations for the Secretariat, missions, and MS.
