Description:

This project aims to increase the capacity of local police and civil society to work together to address security issues in Ninewah and Anbar, Iraq through the use of community policing practices. Police forces are currently supporting other Iraqi Security Forces in their fight against Daesh; however as the latter loses ground there is a need for local police forces to provide security as a service to the populace in areas liberated from Daesh. Project activities include: (1) training local police and civil society on community policing; (2) establishing community police forums; (3) rehabilitating police stations; and (4) assessing the security needs of local women and youth in targeted areas.

Organization:

Peace and Stabilization Operations

Program Purpose:

The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
