The nominations reflect India’s deep pool of experienced policing professionals and the country’s continued engagement with international peace and security frameworks. Indian police officers have long played an important role in United Nations peacekeeping missions, contributing expertise in community policing, institutional reform, counter-crime initiatives, and gender-sensitive policing practices.

By putting forward these accomplished officers for the UN Standing Police Capacity roles, India reiterates its commitment to strengthening global law enforcement cooperation and supporting the United Nations’ efforts to promote stability, justice, and sustainable peace in conflict-affected regions around the world.

The nominated officers will now undergo the selection process at the United Nations Headquarters, where successful candidates will join international teams tasked with assisting member states in building effective, accountable, and community-oriented policing systems.
