This Manual is the result of the third stage of a programme to combat trafficking in children for sexual purposes, devised by the ECPAT Europe Law Enforcement Group - a regional grouping of ECPAT Europe partners, coordinated by ECPAT Netherlands.
The meeting aims to identify the legal and policing needs of the countries concerned in order to improve the co-operation against drug trafficking in the area.
The aim of the Conference was to share the lessons learned, define concrete measures to increase the exchange of operational information and enhance the level of co-operation between the participating countries.
This regional police experts meeting is expected to serve as a platform to discuss the concept and characteristics of community policing and review country-related examples of how community policing concept/framework is implemented and interpreted.
