TL;DRAbstract

The Liberian National Police (LNP) will become the chief provider of security in Liberia as the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) is reduced.1 Given the LNP's capabilities and complexity, its past manipulation by former President Charles Taylor, and a pattern of police misconduct in much of Africa, the question of oversight is critical. At the request of the U.S. government, RAND analyzed the issue of oversight of the LNP to identify options and make recommendations for consideration by the Government of Liberia and its principal supporters, the United States and the United Nations (UN).2 This paper contains the results of RAND's analysis.
