SAAT means Selection
Assessment and Assistant Team that is conducted by UNPOL According to Standard
Operational Procedure (SOP):
Sec-34: A SAAT is established to oversee a MS-based AMS. The SAAT is composed
of certified AMS instructors. Whenever possible, the members of a SAAT should
include both SRS staff and serving United Nations Police Officers. When
possible, there should be at least one female instructor on the team. Whenever
there is a SRS representative on the team, that person will be the team leader.
The terms of reference of the SAAT leader and SAAT members are included in
annex B.
Sec-35: The PKOs and SPMs are to cover the travel costs of their AMS
instructors participating in a SAAT.
13. A candidate has to
be at least twenty-five (25) years of age and should be less than sixty-two
(62) years old for service in a PKO or SPM. Generally, it is strongly
recommended that a candidate be under fifty-five (55) years of age at the time
of deployment.
A candidate must have
a good understanding of the core values of the United Nations (integrity,
professionalism, respect for diversity, and commitment to the United Nations)
and must be a person of integrity. In particular, a candidate must not have
been convicted of, and must not be under investigation or being prosecuted for,
any criminal, human rights or disciplinary offence, with the exception of minor
traffic accidents (driving while intoxicated or dangerous or careless driving
are not considered minor traffic violations for this purpose). Both the MS and
each of its candidates certify during the AMS that they meet these
requirements.
