The Role of Civilian Police Forces in Post-Conflict Peacekeeping Missions The changes in the operational models used in international peacekeeping missions from the early 1990s led to a broadening and deepening of the role of civilian police authorities in order to promote democratic principles and the rule of law. Given the deficiency in understanding civilian police reform and the mixed results to-date, major concerns have arisen regarding the role of civilian police deployments, the service delivery capacity of those agencies, and their strategic performance. The research goals are to (1) identify the appropriate role(s) for civilian police in intervention or post-conflict missions; (2) identify the appropriate civilian policing service delivery and reform/capacity development model(s) to be utilized in intervention and post-conflict environments, and (3) identify the appropriate policing performance measures and frameworks to be utilized in the intervention and post-conflict environments.
