The United Nations Police Gender Toolkit: Standardised Best Practices on Gender Mainstreaming in Peacekeeping is a blueprint for the implementation of gender-related activities in policing mandates. Addressing gender-related concerns within conflict and post-conflict environments, it focuses on helping United Nations Police (UNPOL) officers to apply a standardised methodology and coherent approach across peace operations. In three modules, it covers lessons on how to apply gender concepts to policing; how to develop a police gender strategy and action plan; how to assist the host State police in developing and implementing a gender equality policy and recruiting female police officers; and how to establish special police units to address sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). As a training package, it consists of materials for both a self-paced e-learning and in-person course with a training curriculum, a handbook and a compendium of project tools. It offers a range of standardised processes, model policies, procedures and strategies, templates, checklists and sample questionnaires to guide implementation in the field mission. The tools have been developed from proven good practice from police services worldwide.

The UN Police Manual on Community-Oriented Policing in United Nations Peace Operations spells out the fundamental principles, concept and approach to community-oriented policing for United Nations police. The Manual is designed to assist police components in the fulfilment of their mandated community-oriented policing role principally in providing operational and capacity-building support to host-State police and other law enforcement agencies, as well as whenever UNPOL is mandated to undertake interim policing and other law enforcement duties.

The Manual on Police Monitoring, Mentoring and Advising in Peace Operations provides practical advice for United Nations police on what to monitor in the host-State police, what areas of police activity to pay special attention to and how to effectively turn monitoring results into programmatic activities/ targeted United Nations responses/interventions. The advising and mentoring parts of the manual describe how these activities can be performed on the basis of latest advances in peer-to-peer learning and adult education practices with a particular emphasis on the global knowledge transfer and on-the-job training ‘know-how’ in the police and other law enforcement agencies.
