This opportunity is ideal for seasoned Indian Police Service (IPS) or equivalent rank (SP/DIG) officers with a strong background in criminal investigations, particularly in serious violent crimes, organized crime, cross-border criminality, or terrorism and violent extremism. Candidates should possess a Master's or Bachelor's degree in law, criminology, or related social sciences, complemented by a police academy diploma. Crucially, a working knowledge of French (both spoken and written) and a minimum of 5-10 years of relevant professional investigative experience are essential. This role suits officers seeking international exposure, challenging assignments in peacekeeping, and a chance to contribute to global peace and justice.

Candidates who do not hold the rank of SP/DIG or equivalent, lack the specified investigative experience (5-10 years depending on the post), or do not have working proficiency in French should not apply. Those without a university degree and a police academy diploma, or who cannot obtain necessary vigilance and cadre clearances from their parent organization, will be disqualified. This is a secondment for active service personnel, not open for direct applications from retired officers or civilians without the specified police service background.

This is a prestigious international secondment, offering unparalleled exposure to complex global policing challenges within the United Nations framework. Serving with MONUSCO provides significant career enhancement through international peacekeeping experience, specializing in areas critical to global security. The role offers opportunities for professional development in a multicultural environment and contributes to the UN's mandate for peace and justice, although the number of vacancies is limited.
