Some aspects of training is mentioned.
Design a three day training's programm for the Afghan National Police
From the UN peacekeeping Training Manual.
Training of use of Mobile Checkpoints
Mobile CHPs are deployed where the PKO has difficulties covering all roads and tracks with static CHPs.Mobile CHPs will be composed of a minimum of one section in two armoured vehicles. This group will leave base, operate over a given road-track network and set up “snap CHPs” en route for short periods.
. Training in the operation of CHPs, road-blocks and searches is best conducted in sequence as follows:
a. introductory lecture/discussion;
b. practical application;
c. exercise.
The lecture/discussion and practical application should cover the theory, layout, siting and operation of CHPs, road-blocks and searches. While the initial part can be done in a classroom/lecture hall, the practical application can only be attempted on the ground.
If a training position/OP has been constructed, it would be useful to incorporate a static CHP into the training area. This would be ideal for training in all three areas. Otherwise a simple “mock-up” should be used.
For training in mobile CHPs the necessary equipment can usually be easily provided from local resources. Thereafter a training circuit can be laid out and the operation of mobile CHPs practised.
It may prove beneficial when constructing a training period in this area.
The final phase of training in this area should be an exercise involving the operation of static and mobile CHPs, the conversion of CHPs to road-blocks and the actual searching of personnel and vehicles where some will actually be carrying contraband goods. The normal subsidiary problems encountered at CHPs should also be included in exercises (e.g. build-up of traffic and consequent loss of tempers, truculent subjects of search, “crash through” incidents and follow-up action, etc.).
The exercise and training leading towards it should include the following areas:
a. security and deployment of personnel;
b. method of search;
c. what to do when people: – refuse to produce ID card, – refuse to open the boot of the car, – produce a weapon;
. training in traffic control;
e. training for junior leaders in: – isolating problems quickly, – preventing their escalation, – scaling down and defusing problems quickly.
