The first ever East African Police Chiefs Cooperation Organization (EAPCCO) regional Police Command Post training code named EAPCCO PCPX 2012 will be conducted in Rwanda.
The joint training exercise will commence in August and will take 10 days
The training aims at harmonising Police practices and procedures in order to improve EAPCCO members’ collective capability to combat cross boarder crimes.
This will be possible through sharing of information and intelligence on cross boarder crimes and criminals and to promote the increased Police role in peace support operations.
Chief Superintendent Elisa Kabera, the director of international cooperation at Rwanda National Police says, “This training will strengthen the cooperation of EAPCCO member in combating trans- national and cross-border crimes”.
Training will be based on cross boarder scenarios such as human trafficking and terrorism. It will also focus on peace support operations and will cover theory and practical elements.
Preparations for the exercise were conducted during a steering committee two-day meeting held in Kigali earlier in the week.
The organising committee is made up of EAPCCO, Interpol and Rwanda National Police.
