This chapter draws on the MDP’s Afghanistan experiences under Operation Herrick, reflecting on the role of stakeholders and providers at the UK end and in Afghanistan. In this case an opportunity arose to improve the provision of international policing services at the centre, to identify those ‘lessons needing to be learnt’ in theatre within an integrated military–police approach to police monitoring, mentoring, and advising. This may provide an opportunity to harness lessons learnt to any future overseas policing missions within post-conflict and fragile states and may benefit the development of international policing and rule of law doctrine more broadly.

Until relatively recently colonial policing received considerably less scholarly attention than the policing of mainland Britain. This volume comprises four sections: section I considers works on British colonial policing up until the Second World War; section II moves to post-war colonial policing through the era of decolonisation; section III looks more closely at the policing of Northern Ireland, and, section IV shows how the meshing of these policing systems are currently contributing to the globalisation of British policing today.

The presence of a civil, unarmed police on the mainland and an armed police in Northern Ireland [aside from the Ministry of Defence Police (MDP)] has benefitted the UK, in terms of international policing assistance, allowing the different facets of the UK policing brand to be transported overseas. The UN-led mission to Kosovo necessitated executive authority policing; the UK government deployed officers from the 10 RUC and MDP; the RUC though being the only home office police force with long-standing operational experience in the use of firearms, in divided community and hostile environment policing, in managing regular high-end public order, providing counter-terrorist policing and a lengthy history in civil–military relations as a result of the conflict in Northern Ireland. This expertise was of particular benefit to the peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions to Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan from the 1990s through until the present day.
