1. Background

In 2009, the Police Division launched a Global Effort initiative that called for increasing the participation of female police officers in peacekeeping to 20 per cent from 7 per cent. Ensuring equal opportunities at senior level police positions is crucial. Female police officers in decision-making positions ensure that they have the highest impact. The Police Division is organizing a course that focuses on the specific needs, priorities and challenges women face in obtaining senior-level police positions in United Nations peacekeeping operations and special political missions. The aim of this female police preparatory leadership course is to create a talent pool to fast track nominations of qualified female senior police officers to senior recruitment rosters, including heads of police components from P5 to D2, job vacancies for contracted professional staff in Headquarters and field missions, and in the forthcoming UN Police Command Courses.
