Course instructors supervise an exercise as members of the State of Cambodia's (SOC) military police practice detention and search techniques at the Military Training Centre situated at a former refugee reception camp on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. One soldier searches the 'suspect' who is leaning against the building, while another covers them with an M-16 rifle from which the magazine has been removed. A UN motorcycle sits in the background. The 18 day courses were designed to give common training to the military police of Cambodia's newly combined armed forces, with thirty lessons in arrest procedure, police restraint techniques, crowd control, crime scene protection, humanitarian considerations, report writing and instructional techniques provided by an Australian, French, Malaysian and Canadian team of ten, all members of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC). Students were chosen to become future instructors at the School and over 2000 were processed.
