To further enhance the professional capacities of Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) officers on strategic, legal, operational skills and promoting human rights–based policing, EUPOL COPPS launched a comprehensive workshop at the Nablus Police District on 21 January. The activity will be concluded on 22 January.

The workshop focuses on strategic planning, management skills, legal background on police work, practical case study on managing the crime scene, Human rights mainstreaming, cybercrime, Community Policing and Information Led Policing (ILP).

EUPOL COPPS Family and Juvenile Protection advisers shared their experience on how to work to work with vulnerable groups. Tomorrow the focus will be on Community Policing.

The workshop is attended by PCP officers from several specialised departments, including anti-narcotics, traffic, correction and rehabilitation centres, judicial police, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), logistics, media, antiquities, family and juvenile protection, community policing, human rights, training, and legal units.

Participants engaged today in discussions, which will continue tomorrow, addressing challenges encountered in their day-to-day work, such as mobility restrictions, inadequacies in shelter facilities, and the need for enhanced electronic systems and coordination mechanisms.

These exchanges enabled EUPOL COPPS to gain a deeper understanding of the local policing context in Nablus, ensuring that future training and support activities can be better tailored to operational needs.

This event is part of a series of workshops that the Mission conducted in the districts of Bethlehem, Jericho, Salfit Hebron and Nablus.
