Taking another step forward in strengthening their cooperation, the Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) and EUPOL COPPS have launched a two-day Strategic Workshop under the theme of "Building Together the Future of PCP” on 13-14 October in Ramallah.

 The workshop brought together senior PCP representatives and EUPOL COPPS advisers to review past accomplishments and chart a pragmatic way forward for institutional development, training, and strategic implementation.

The workshop responds to PCP's recent establishment of new committees for Projects, Training, and Institutional Development, and their request for closer cooperation with EUPOL COPPS. The initiative is designed to move beyond bilateral discussions, creating a shared platform to align priorities, discuss challenges, and translate strategies into operational results.

They encompass the Assistant Commissioner for Planning and Training, heads of key departments, district commanders, and advisers across EUPOL COPPS's fields of mandate — including community policing, criminal investigations, and accountability.

The event, across two days, focuses on reviewing joint successes, learning about the new PCP Strategic Plan, and crafting a realistic, actionable roadmap for the future years. An optional follow-up day will focus on district level implementation so that strategies at the national level are translated into local action.

The expected outcomes are a shared operational roadmap, stronger coordination mechanisms, and restored institutional confidence.

The workshop also forms part of the EU's broader support for strong and accountable Palestinian institutions. In working together on both strategy and implementation, the partners reaffirm their determination to improve security, stability, and the rule of law in Palestine.
