International Cooperation

Opportunities

The international study on good practices in public safety offers an opportunity to develop international exchanges of innovative approaches in terms of research, methodology, and training of public safety agents, as well as creating:

1. An international network to foster initiatives in security and justice promotion and technical training in urban areas.
2. A space to share good practices between institutions and administrations.
3. Bridges of collaboration among European and American institutions to reach international agreemets on public safety policies.
4. A new field of international developmental cooperation using public safety promotion as a strategy in urban sectors where insecurity and violence hinder development.

Lines of Action

Technical Exchange

This programme has established a space to examine public policies related to public safety (crime prevention, social development, professional training, and urban planning), with experts from collaborating entities. This has allowed them to develop work models and plans, and define the profiles of the new specialists needed to implement the newly designed public safety model (experiences, good practices, etc.)

Training

It has implemented an international training programme through institutional cooperation, offering professionals from the fields of public safety, law, social affairs, and public policies new tools adapted to the diverse and global twenty-first century society.

Methodological development

And lastly, it has implemented simultaneous innovative programmes on public safety with a common structure including the evaluation and follow-up of developed actions.

Technical exchange

A space for analysing public policies related to public safety (crime prevention, social promotion, professional empowerment, and public planning) has been created, in which leaders of the implicated administrations' technical teams and collaborating institution may develop a projection of potential programmes and lines of work on the basis of experiences ad localised good practices.
