The regional desks in the Division of Regional Operations are the backbone of the Department of Safety and Security. They monitor daily security environments and UN security operations in their respective regions, provide security advice and technical support to UN security personnel in the field and coordinate with security focal points of UN departments, agencies, funds and programmes ensuring an unified and comprehensive response to any given security environment.
