On September 25th, ICT4COP center leader Professor Ingrid Nyborg was in Vienna to deliver a presentation on ‘Post-Conflict Police Reform – Lessons Learned and Way Forward’, for the Organization for European Security Cooperation (OSCE) Security Committee meeting. Professor Nyborg was one of four main speakers, which included the Deputy Head of the International Police Cooperation Department, National Police of Ukraine, the Director for Security and Public Safety, OSCE Mission in Kosovo, and the Deputy Director, Head of the Division of Coordination and Horizontal Affairs, Civil Planning and Capabilities, European External Action Service.
The program was a unique opportunity to learn about this 57 member state organization, which supports police reform efforts across three continents. There was a lot of interest from the delegates in our ICT4COP research, and after the meeting Ingrid met with Bjørn Tore Saltvik, Adviser on Police Development and Reform in the OSCE Secretariate, to learn more of OSCE’s work in police reform, and discuss possible areas of future collaboration.
