Summary As Afghanistan shifts from a war footing and coalition forces draw down, the Afghan National Police faces a daunting task. Not only must it shift from military-oriented security operations to true community policing, but it must also fill some considerable gaps in its capacity to manage itself as a civilian-led arm of a democratically elected government. Development is crucial, but for it to have any legitimacy, the impetus must come from the Afghans themselves. At this critical juncture, donor nations and organizations must unite to help the Afghans integrate this effort across the full spectrum of governance. This report is based on interviews with senior police leaders, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) members, international donors, and Afghan officials and civil society during 2013-14, completed just before April's national elections. The report also draws on the author's experience during 2009-12, when she served as senior rule of law adviser to three of the four major component commands within the ISAF coalition. This report should be read in connection with USIP Special Report 322, "Police Transition in Afghanistan."
