Law Enforcement and Counter-Terrorism Policing

Effectively combatting terrorism today, requires the cooperation of various institutions and agencies, at every level of government. With police officers acting as the first responders after an attack, and the monitors of activity on a citywide level, the police apparatus cannot be overlooked as a primary component of today's counter-terrorism strategy.

This workshop will discuss the role of policing in counter-terrorism, from the viewpoint of practitioners from around the world. Workshop participants will share best-practices from their respective countries, will discuss key topics and challenges in counter-terrorism policing and will share personal accounts from real-life situations.
