OSCE OFFICE ORGANIZES POLICE OPEN DAYS IN ARMENIA
VANADZOR, Armenia
The following information was released by the Organization for
Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE):
The first in a series of police open days to enhance trust between the
police and the public will be held tomorrow in Vanadzor, a northern
city in Lori province of Armenia.
Organized by the OSCE Office in Yerevan together with the Armenian
Police and the National Centre for Legal Research non-governmental
organization, the open days are mainly aimed at young people, giving
them an opportunity to better understand police work
Lilian Salaru, the Politico-Military Officer of the OSCE Office in
Yerevan, said: "Police open days are intended to be an ice-breaker in
the relations between the police and the young Armenian citizens. The
event is part of the continued efforts of our Office to support the
development of democratic policing in Armenia and is the first such
event to be held in the Armenian provinces."
Throughout the day, some 30 high school students will visit Vanadzor
police department to learn about the day-to-day activities of the
police and to discuss with police officers the challenges of their
work, raising issues of concern with regard to the local security
situation. They will also have an opportunity to try on police
equipment and sit in patrol cars.
A number of experts will deliver presentations on various topics,
including drug addiction, trafficking in human beings, corruption and
the community policing model. Specially designed brochures to
highlight these topics, as well as promotional items, will be widely
distributed.
Assisting the police to organize open days is part of an ongoing
multi-year OSCE project to introduce community based policing in
Armenia.
