Commemorating police in peacekeeping

Members of the AFP and the former ACT Police and Commonwealth Police have participated in United Nations peacekeeping missions since the first deployment to Cyprus in 1964.

While the police role in peacekeeping operations varies with each mission, they share the same basic principles - to uphold the rule of law; uphold the rights of individuals; and resolve incidents with the minimum use of force.

The skills developed through the AFP's overseas liaison role, national and community policing responsibilities, and policing in previous UN missions, allow AFP members to contribute effectively to peacekeeping operations.
