KUALA LUMPUR: Police will deploy 10 personnel to the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission in South Sudan this Monday.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said the personnel, comprising seven men and three women, would be deployed for a year as Individual Police Officers and in the Formed Police Units.
"Their role in the UN mission is based on the concept of traditional approach building, especially in maintaining public safety and order.
"It is more focused on the reform, rebuilding and restructuring of countries that are experiencing certain crises and unrest," he said here today.
Acryl Sani said the officers would also play a role in various issues such as human rights, international policing, community policing, coaching and monitoring.
He said the officers had served in 13 countries and the last was in 2018 in South Sudan.
"Of the 132 candidates eligible for selection, 113 have passed and are ready to join the UN mission." -- Bernama
