The size of police components in UN peace operations varies widely, ranging from a handful in most SPMs and some peacekeeping operations to several thousand in the peacekeeping missions in Darfur, Haiti and Kosovo. Unlike in EU operations, the size of police components in UN peacekeeping operations has increased as they average, at a maximum, a police strength of 1869 in ongoing missions (see Appendix C). Regarding SPMs, the maximum number of police personnel deployed in all SPMs with police personnel active in or after 2000 is 11 for the ongoing SPMs. The currently ongoing operations deploying police have on average run for 12.4 years.[273] Currently, the largest police contributing countries to the UN are from the Middle East, Africa and Southern Africa.
