Six trainers from five countries and 22 participants from 17 countries took part in the seminar.
The first day of the seminar was dedicated to introductory and practical issues, including: “Police Officer of the Neighbourhood” and “The Practical Implementation of the Community Policing Concept in a Belgian Police Zone”.

Gabriel Mc Intyre, a participant from Ireland, said: “I found the seminar very well structured, informative and with good content. There were excellent speakers on relevant topics.”

It is no more in its childhood, it is now entering a grown-up phase, meeting new concepts and trying to incorporate them in the same future police model.”
The seminar was organised by the CEPOL unit of the Hellenic Police Academy.
