To reinforce the investigative capacity of the Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) in the field of Criminal Investigation Department (CID), EUPOL COPPS and the PCP held a specialised CID training launch workshop to discuss the way forward for a newly developed Investigation Training Programme, on 5 November, in Ramallah.

This workshop focused on reviewing the status of the specialised Palestinian Police Investigation training project and finalise planning process for its implementation. This programme will involve all the PCP investigators in different PCP specialised administrations.  

The activity was attended by and 14 PCP officers, including representatives from CID, Anti-Narcotics, Forensic Laboratory, Family and Juvenile Protection Department, and Training Administration, in addition to the Chief of Police Assistant on CID and Chief of Police Assistant on Planning and Training
