International Consultant (IC) – Law Enforcement Expert
Closing date: 15/01/2012
A. Background
The UNODC Sub-programme on Law Enforcement focuses on enhancing the counter narcotics capacity the Government of Afghanistan through the provision of specialized mentorship to develop expertise and to ensure sustainability of counter narcotics efforts. This is especially important as the country approaches 2014 when the international military will no longer be engaged in providing support and guidance in the law enforcement arena. Key areas for support are: i) Developing the operational capacity of the Counter Narcotics Police of Afghanistan (CNPA) in the areas of training, intelligence, mobile detection teams, forensics, and precursor control; and ii) Enhancing border law enforcement, including regional cross border cooperation. The support provided in these specific areas will include assisting the Counter Narcotics Police of Afghanistan (CNPA) not only within Kabul but, importantly, supporting an effective CNPA presence within the provinces.
In view of the threat posed by the illicit manufacture of heroin in Afghanistan, Output 5 of the Sub-programme focuses on ensuring that Afghan authorities are equipped, trained and mentored to interdict smuggled consignments of precursor chemicals . To address this issue, UNODC has assisted CNPA in creating a dedicated Precursor Control Unit (PCU) which is located at CNPA HQ in Kabul. PCU has enhanced CNPA’s ability to conduct specialized precursor investigations, but with increasing information being received with regard to these offences, it has become necessary to develop the skills of other operational units to assist PCU in actioning intelligence received. The purpose of this assignment will therefore be to train and mentor CNPA’s Mobile Detection Teams (MDTs) to provide operational support to PCU.
