‘It takes a network to beat a network’, and as such it takes a network of various institutions and agencies at each level of government to effectively combat terrorism. Police officers are the boots on the ground; they are the first responders to all events and the eyes that monitor the cities we live in, thus the police agencies around the globe are a primary component in 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.
