AFP to push Australia's policing model to UN

Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett is promoting Australia's streamlined training model for UN peacekeepers, which could reduce training time from months to weeks. This proposal comes as the UN faces budget cuts and has reduced its global peacekeeping force by 25% due to funding shortages. Barrett will present the model at the United Nations Chief of Police Summit in New York, emphasizing affordability and sustainability for member states. The Australian approach was successfully used to train 100 Pacific officers last year, with plans to train 50 more in late July. Additionally, Barrett aims to support the creation of PACPOL, a new Pacific policing bloc, to enhance regional security and give Pacific Island nations more influence in global policing discussions. Concerns have been raised about China's increasing military presence in the region through agreements with the Solomon Islands.
