The International Women in Law Enforcement Conference will bring together the brightest female minds in the field to discuss leadership, collaboration and security on a global scale.

To be hosted by the National Police Academy in Hyderabad, India in October, the Conference is part of an ongoing collaboration between the Academy and Charles Sturt University's (CSU)  Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security.

The Conference will contribute to the ongoing development of resilient and efficient organisations, strengthen skills and competencies of future women leaders, and influence inter-regional networking.

Member of the Conference Steering Group CSU Associate Professor Tracey Green believes the Conference will highlight the unique role women play in law enforcement.

"The conference will reflect the significant role of women in mainstream law enforcement and will focus on the contributions women can make in all areas of law enforcement," she said.

"Attendees will collaborate, discuss and complete training in areas pertaining to leadership in law enforcement, national security, radicalisation and counter radicalisation, cyber and forensic developments, and organisational governance and accountability."

The Conference will provide a combination of discussion and training, with opportunities to learn professional practices from the presentation of real world cases and current research, all with a strong strategic and operational focus.

"International collaboration is important in law enforcement because crime and criminal activity is no longer restrained by borders. It is crucial that law enforcement agencies are able to cooperate effectively and learn from the experience of their colleagues world-wide," Associate Professor Green said.

In 2014, CSU was selected to deliver the prestigious Mid Career Training Program for the Indian Police Service (IPS) from 2014 to 2017. By 2017 almost 1 000 superintendents will have been trained by CSU through a program focused on building advanced professional policing and organisational practices.

Submissions of abstracts for the International Women in Law Enforcement Conference will close Friday 24 July 2015. For more information visit here: www.csu.edu.au/conference/policing
