2. CONTENTS
- Introduction to “Stability Policing” (SP) concept and to the NATO SP COE - Dealing with the actual E&IT system - Expectation from the Governance

3. WHAT IS «STABILITY POLICING»?
The concept of Stability Policing is not new and NATO Nations have been engaged in police stability activities over two decades under different names
Stability Policing is not a NATO exclusive concept but it is shared, under different names, with other international organizations, notably the EU and the UN
Stability Policing is not a solely military matter but it is part of a comprehensive approach to crisis management

4. Stability Policing in NATO doctrine
Is a concept described throughout the NATO AJP 3 series AJP Rat. Draft 1 Allied Joint Doctrine for the military contribution to Stabilization and Reconstruction AJP Allied Joint Doctrine for Stability Policing - Final Draft 3
Aims at creating a safe and secure environment, restoring and maintaining public order, security and the respect for the law by reinforcing and/or replacing Local Police with the long term objective of contributing to the establishment of the Rule of Law.
Focuses on the local population/local civpol and therefore it needs to be conducted with a civil police mindset
Can be performed by different military actors

7. THE VISION OF THE NATO SP COE
to operate as a prime mover to increase contribution to the Alliance stability and reconstruction efforts in Crisis Management scenarios;
to provide a unique capability to NATO and Nations to fill the gaps in the area of Stability Policing (SP);
to be an internationally recognized focal point and a hub of expertise for a Community of Interest (COI) in the field of SP and to highly contribute to the NATO Strategic Concept in such area.

8. EXPERIENCE WITH THE ACTUAL E&IT SYSTEM (1)
SP subject situation:
NATO SP COE is officially a NATO Body after the NAC endorsement (Dec 2015)
SP has its own AJP Doctrine, but still in its final draft
SP has not been assigned to any existing Discipline
The only NATO official guidance for the NATO SP COE Training Branch are the RA and the ACT SP SME.
No Global Programming framework

9. EXPERIENCE WITH THE ACTUAL E&IT SYSTEM (2)
No TNA but SMEs WGs for applying the SAT
Up to now, few NATO SP COE personnel trained and experienced in the SAT and in the quality assurance procedure

10. EXPERIENCE WITH THE ACTUAL E&IT SYSTEM (3)
Until now, the Stability Policing concept has not been sufficiently considered in the last NATO Exercises (i.e. in the EXSPEC and in the MEL/MIL) and in the development of the existing courses
Because the NATO SP COE is a new entity, its SMEs did not have the opportunity to participate in STPs, TRAs, TNAs and ADCs

11. UP TO NOW WE CAN OFFER:
“Introduction to SP for leaders” & “Introduction to SP for field commanders” courses for 2016 (the 1st in May and the 2nd in Nov)
“CRC Awareness in NATO operations” courses (1st edition in Jun, 2nd in Oct)
SP SMEs for every Stage of the NATO exercises
SP modules to be delivered through Mobile Training Teams (MTTs) for an added value for existing courses
“Preserving crime scene in NATO ops ” courses for 2016 (1st edition in Oct, 2nd in Nov) WORKS IN PROGRESS

12. EXPECTATION FROM THE GOVERNANCE (1)
Organization of a meeting with all the COEs in order to give direction on the new Discipline policy, permitting open discussion for finding solutions to the open and not solved problems
Organize JFT “MTTs” IOT provide for new COE’s Training Branches the necessary and basic training information for an immediate contribution in the dedicated subject

13. EXPECTATION FROM THE GOVERNANCE (2)
As Stability Policing is a strategic and important part of NATO OPS, organize its SMEs presence in the NATO exercises and operations, according to the scenario
Include SP COE SME personnel as a contributor of expertise for the STPs, TRAs, TNAs, ADCs, if related to Stability Policing issues
