ABSTRACT
In this chapter focus is on one aspect of civil-military co-operation: co-operation between foreign military and authorities responsible for ‘policing’ (majors, ministers, Public Prosecutors) or executive law enforcement organisations (regular police, including border guards, Customs and National Guards). The past two decades have seen a great number of multilateral policing missions to which western and other countries not only contributed civilian police, but also military police. In some cases regular military units and military staff officers worked with local police and local authorities. In other cases with non-existent or ineffective national police forces, they supplemented local police or temporarily acted alone to maintain public order or counter criminal activities.
