Activities
The CoESPU trainees have become the nucleus of gendarme-like
peacekeeping robust police forces able to carry out their duties in
the PSO context, particularly in destabilized environments.
Since its creation, CoESPU has functioned as a training centre as
well as a doctrinal hub for SPUs developing common operational
procedures for the employment of Gendarme or Carabinieri-like
forces in PSO.
In accordance with CoESPU mission, the Centre:
- offers training programs, including 'train the trainer'
courses and pre-deployment training for specific
missions;
- expands on existing doctrine, specifically with regard to crowd
control, combating organized crime, high risk arrests, and prison
security, protection of sensitive targets, election security, VIP
security and border control;
- provides interoperability training with the relevant military
forces, civilian institutions and other deployed police components
involved in the PSO;
- provides a site for testing and verifying the achieved
capabilities of the nations of trained personnel;
- conducts assessments of lessons learned/after-action reviews to
incorporate into future training;
- coordinates potential equipment requirements for deployments to
international operations, in accordance with CoESPU
training;
- interacts with international and regional organizations such as
the UN, NATO, OSCE, the EU, the AU, ECOWAS; academic and research
institutions (such as the UN Staff College, George Marshall Centre,
Sant'Anna Institute University, etc.); national and international
military research institutions (UN DPKO; NATO Joint Analysis and
Lessons Learned Centre, EU Police Unit; International Institute of
Humanitarian Law (IIHL) in Sanremo (Italy); U.S. Army Peacekeeping
and Stability Operations Institute and U.S. Army Centre for Lessons
Learned); the European Gendarmerie Force, whose headquarters is
