EUPOL COPPS, PCP hold workshop on Community Policing

On 05 September 2016, EUPOL COPPS and Palestinian Civil Police (PCP)jointly facilitated a community policing workshop to listen to views form the senior management of the PCP on the issues that need to be taken into consideration while developing  the Strategic Community Policing Concept for the PCP.  The high-level workshop was attended by seven brigadier-Generals and Deputy Head of EUPOL COPPS and Community Policing Advisers. An open and frank discussion on community policing strategic issues followed with comments and statements reflecting the workshops’ objectives. This workshop represented the first in a series of workshops designed to engage the PCP at the Strategic, Central and District level. The output from these workshops will be used as an input into another series of workshops with potential community policing partner groups from Civil Society. The overall purpose of facilitating these PCP and Civil Society workshops is to develop a strategic concept that will represent a joint understanding of community policing among the participating stakeholders.
