Protect Peace and Security – Hungarian Law Enforcement Agencies in Peace Operations

The author’s intent is to record his knowledge from 20 years of experience in law enforcement peacekeeping and crisis management, and share them with those interested in the topic.The elaboration of the theory of law enforcement peacekeeping and civilian crises management as well as its practical implementation have not received the necessary attention in recent years, although there are more than ten thousand law enforcement officials deeply involved in this activity around the world.The history of the participation of Hungarian law enforcement organizations in peacekeeping and crises management is quite short; in fact, we have been involved in this activity only since 1989. A few books were published covering the individual stories of law enforcement peacekeepers, but a comprehensive study of the area and a written document on practical experiences are missing.
