Rebuilding Communities in Liberated and Frontline Regions – Stability Policing in Action

Описание: In Ukraine’s de-occupied territories and frontline areas, life unfolds under constant danger. Mines, unexploded ordnances, and repeated strikes on critical infrastructure leave civilians at risk every day. Access to medical care and social services is often limited, while many police stations lie damaged or destroyed – leaving officers without the most basic tools to perform their duties.

Yet it is precisely in these harsh conditions that law enforcement officers play an essential role. They work to restore the rule of law, ease tensions, protect civilians, and rebuild trust. These core tasks lie at the heart of Stability Policing, a specialised approach designed for environments affected by conflict.

In 2024, the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM) Ukraine supported the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU) and the National Police of Ukraine (NPU) in developing and introducing a Stability Policing concept – an important step toward strengthening security and resilience in war-affected communities.

To turn this concept into practice, EUAM brought in the Specialized Team of the European Gendarmerie Force, who trained NGU and NPU personnel to operate together and respond effectively to threats on the ground.
