IPOCT is a partner in the field of consulting and training in the security domain in particular in respect of international policing.
The increasing interdependence of local and international security is characterised by increasingly blurring boundaries between internal and external security, the public and private actors involved, and a strong commitment to a pluralistic approach in order to reduce threats to public safety. At the same time, the emphasis in addressing security threats is shifting to prevention, in which information gathering and monitoring play an important role. Parallel to these developments, a normative development can be observed, in which questions the demand for good governance, integrity and human rights call for attention. Especially where the security threat is at its biggest, this normative development will lead to a certain tension in the practice of the security professionals.
Although her knowledge and experience can be called forth widely, IPOCT focuses on advising and training the professionals involved in security, as part of police reform abroad. IPOCT wants to play and can play a meaningful role by taking mutual trust with the professionals involved in security as starting point, emphasizing the importance of the local context, and paying attention to international developments in the security domain.
By making use of its networks, using and combining its analytical capabilities, vision, ambition, creativity, and the search for practical solutions, IPOCT wants to grow into a respected, professional and reliable partner in the coming years.
