Tuesday, 30 September 2008
The British High Commi-ssion, in conjunction with the Bangladesh Police, completed a four-week programme aimed at improving the selection and pre-deployment training of Bangladesh Police for UN Missions overseas, reports UNB.
The programme that began on August 31 focused on the 'Training of Trainers'. The training was designed in two phases and sought to enhance the awareness of the range and nature of issues likely to be encompassed by police officers deploying on UN missions.
A release of the British HC Monday said a total of 35 participants attended one or other of the two phases that covered subjects such as UN policing standards, human rights, cultural issues, stress management, gender equality, sexual abuse & exploitation, VIP protection, driving and tactical skills.
Acting British High Commissioner Duncan Norman said, "We recognise the important role and commitment shown by Bangladesh in providing Police officers for UN missions overseas, often in some of the toughest conditions in the world.
