More than 30 police training experts and managers from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Mongolia are taking part in the five-day workshop on the OSCE POLIS website. They will discuss lessons learned in defining and implementing curricula for basic police training, based on the OSCE publication on Good Practices in Basic Police Training, with the aim of enhancing the overall value and effectiveness of their national training programmes.

"Governments have to understand that investing in police training today is investing in future security and stability. Online discussions are a cost-effective way to exchange experiences and practices," said Manuel Marion, Deputy Head of the OSCE Strategic Police Matters Unit.
