(DEC 11, 2009) This project investigates the need for a U.S. Stability Police Force, the major capabilities it would need if created, where in the federal government it would best be headquartered, and how it should be staffed.

In doing so, it considers options based in the Departments of Defense,Homeland Security, Justice, and State.

The project was conducted for the U.S. Army's Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute (PKSOI).

Its purpose was to make recommendations to PKSOI, the Army, and the community of rule-of-law researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on the need for (and characteristics of) a U.S. Stability Police Force.
