The Police Division of the Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions in the Department of Peace Operations, together with the African Union, European Union, INTERPOL and United Nations University, cordially invite you to participate in a webinar on the “Future of International Policing: Increasing Effectiveness and Impact through Global Partnerships”.
COVID-19 has brought the essence of international policing into greater focus. International police women and men are among the most visible representatives of the African Union, European Union, INTERPOL and the United Nations in the countries where they are deployed. As first responders, they continue to support host-State authorities to maintain law and order, protect civilians, and engage with local populations through patrolling and community-oriented policing amid the new normal of the pandemic by adapting and innovating.
This webinar will provide a platform to discuss how to further increase the effectiveness and overall impact of international policing through an exchange of experiences and ideas with leading practitioners. It will consider the implications of COVID-19, which has exacerbated existing security, political and socio-economic schisms, as well as new trends and innovations improving the implementation of mandated tasks and, importantly, facilitating greater safety and security for those communities most in need. The event thereby provides an opportunity to lay out a road map of opportunities to enhance collaboration on peace and security between the African Union, European Union, INTERPOL and the United Nations drawing on their unique capabilities and comparative strengths.
