Building trust between the police and the public is fundamental for communities to be safer and stable.

To support the Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) strengthening public stability and to enhance respect of public freedoms, EUPOL COPPS organised a workshop in the northern West Bank town of Salfit on 16-17 December.

The event brought together EUPOL COPPS Advisers, including the Mission’s Human Rights Office and over 30 Palestinian senior police officers.

The workshop focused on improving the capacity and awareness of the PCP in Management Skills, Strategic Planning, Human Rights & Legal Frameworks, Criminal Investigation and Community Policing.

EUPOLCOPPS advisers facilitated interactive discussions with participants on the named topics.  

 EUPOL COPPS advisors shared real life examples of practical management tools to improve team motivation, operational efficiency, and early problem detection in daily policing. The topics were discussed through concrete examples during interactive group exercises, so that participants could identify actionable changes for their duty stations.

The workshop marked the importance of continued cooperation and dialogue between EUPOL COPPS and the PCP.
