Law enforcement has entered the international policy spotlight in recent years, particularly with the emergence of global terrorism.
Charles Sturt University (CSU) is playing a major role in raising the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies across South East Asia by helping train the top managers in these agencies and providing academic recognition of their performances in the program.
In the second part of the Regional Executive Leadership Program (RELP) which started Monday 2 July, senior police officers from Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, China Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam are meeting at Semarang in Indonesia to address their concerns regarding counter-terrorism, leadership, crime intelligence and trans-national crime in the Asia-Pacific region.
Associate Professors Ian Wing and Nick O’Brien from CSU’s Australian Graduate School of Policing (AGSP) are among presenters from Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia and the United Kingdom also at the meeting.
“Over the next three weeks, participants will cover such diverse topics as police management in Indonesia and managing media as part of counter-terrorism operations,” Professor Wing said.
“They will also research subjects that deal with international cooperation to combat terrorism and trans-national crime, presenting their findings to their colleagues and a group of senior law enforcement and education representatives, including the Acting Dean of CSU’s Faculty of Arts and AGSP head, Associate Professor Tracey Green.”
Successful completion of the RELP program by participants will be accredited towards one of CSU’s post-graduate programs in terrorism, policing and intelligence. CSU is also providing a scholarship for continuing distance education to a participant selected from the program.
Professor Green hopes this program will develop an alumni of senior police officers from throughout the region who will work together to address regional law enforcement issues and challenges into the future.
“RELP aims to develop an ongoing dialogue between regional leaders to enhance organisations as they meeting current and emerging challenges in law enforcement,” Professor Green said.
