Notes:
Since not all police deployment by OSCE is visible in the organisation’s available statistics, the numbers of police staff only represent staff working in police related activities – meaning activities that are focused on police development and reform or on countering transnational threats and organised crime.

The OSCE does not deploy police of military officers that are in active service. Therefore, military or police staff should be temporarily put on administrative leave by their employer. It is not uncommon for the OSCE to deploy pensioned police or military officers, that are, in the Netherlands, hired from a pool of experts, administered by the MFA.

Based on the Annual Reports on OSCE Activities 2000 until 2014.
Based on Appendices 3 and 6 of OSCE Report on Police-Related Activities up to the end of 2009 and OSCE Annual Reports on Police-Related Activities 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
