DEPUTY DIRECTOR’S CORNER

I would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome to COESPU and
the Stability Policing Community. It is an honor to have the opportu-
nity to serve as the Deputy Director at COESPU, and I look forward to
continuing our efforts to increase interoperability and strengthen ca-
pacities that support global peace operations.
It is an exciting time to join COESPU as we enter our 15th year of pro-
viding top quality training and training support to the stability police
community and Formed Police Units. In our 15 years, COESPU has
trained over 12,000 police and law enforcement professionals from
120 countries and 17 international organizations. An amazing achie-
vement!
The training opportunities offered at COESPU continue to grow as
this year we will add a course to address an emerging consideration
within stability policing, Environmental and Cultural Protection. Our
training team is actively working several updates the curriculum in our
corps courses based on new guidelines from the United Nations and
Rebecca D. Hazelett
Colonel (OF-5), Military Police Lessons Learned in the international community. Most recently we
United States Army updated the Civil-Police-Military Relations course to reflect the new
UN Guidelines published in September 2019.
With over 12,000 Alumni serving in police and peacekeeping operations globally, it is the right time to
take our Alumni program to the next level. Many of you joined our program to stay connected to the
Center of Excellence and remain current on new stability policing academia works. Your membership
gained you access to our quarterly magazine publication and is a starting point to continue to build your
professional network.
I enjoy reading and hearing about your experiences and I would like share these experiences with your
fellow Alumni. Therefore, in future publications, I am going to use the Deputy Director corner to highlight
YOU!
We want to share what you are doing to support stability and peace around the globe.
Please share your input in short summaries or photos that tell your story – tell us about your experience in
pre-deployment training, show us how the courses helped you in training or on a mission, share lessons
learned, or send us a picture when your path crosses with fellow Alumni or COESPU instructors. Let us
know how you are progressing in your career by sending photos of your promotions and personal or unit
award ceremonies. You can send your photos and input to: exalumnicoespu@carabinieri.it
Again, it is a great pleasure to join the stability policing community and the team at COESPU as we cele-
brate 15 years of professional instruction. I look forward to connecting with you as we continue to support
peace operations worldwide.

The CoESPU Deputy Director
Col. Rebecca D. Hazelett
