EUPOL COPPS, the European Union Co-ordinating Office for Palestinian Police Support, has handed over training equipment to the Palestinian Civil Police Officers (PCP). The delivery included spike belt kit, police duty belt and pouches, flashing orange LED light, handcuffs, training mattresses, stop signal and check point signal.

Moreover, hundreds of police officers from all the 11 districts are expected to take part in an “in-service” training programme that will be held in their respective districts in the near future.

The “In-Service” trainings are a model of training delivered at the local level, allowing PCP officers to benefit from training programmes while serving in the units they are assigned to. This efficient use of available resources would contribute in enhancing further the capabilities of the PCP officers. In recent years, EUPOL COPPS has introduced this kind of training which draws on efficient use of available resources.

EUPOL COPPS aims at contributing to the establishment of sustainable and effective policing arrangements and advising Palestinian counterparts on criminal justice and rule of law related aspects under Palestinian ownership.
