Summary: According to this paper there have not yet been significant improvements in police effectiveness or public confidence, despite increased attention to and resources for police reform. Predictably, coordination difficulties with separate programmes remain and the US military (the dominant actor) still mainly sees the police as an auxiliary security force rather than an enforcer of law. This approach ignores that organized crime and the lack of rule of law is at the centre of much popular disillusionment and instability. Better law enforcement including a functional judicial system, would help.
