The Organization of American States (OAS) started this week in Ecuador the second training course of the Inter-American Network for Police Development and Professionalization (REDPPOL). The course will bring together 60 professionals from police institutions from 27 countries of the Americas.
During the inauguration, at the Escuela Superior General Alberto Enríquez Gallo in Quito, the Director of the OAS Department of Public Security, Paulina Duarte, highlighted REDPPOL's role in promoting professionalization and international cooperation among police and its quest to improve and level the capacities of the police institutions of the hemisphere. “Police institutions are a key piece of democratic states and societies, and that is why the OAS created REDPPOL, to address the challenges that arise from insecurity, violence and crime in all its types and modalities. This course is only a part, an essential part, of what REDPPOL brings to the countries of the Hemisphere,” said Duarte.
For her part, the Minister of Government of Ecuador, María Paula Romo, stressed that “transnational organized crime in Latin America expresses itself in illegal industries such as drug trafficking, illegal mining, human trafficking and cyber security. This kind of crime forces us to modernize the focus of our public security policy, both in planning and in action at the national and hemispheric levels.”
The police officers participating in the four-week-training course in theoretical and practical modules will focus on subjects such as:
Trends of violence and crime in the Americas
Society, State, and Police
Police Management
Leadership
Knowledge Management on the Police
Transnational organized crime, cybercrime and international police cooperation to address them
