EUROMED Police delivers train-the-trainers activity on Drug Trafficking

Experts and trainers on drug trafficking from Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia and the EU convened last week at the International Training Center in Budapest for a five-day workshop in the frame of the EUROMED Police project. The aim was to develop a training curriculum to step up the capacity of law enforcement officers to fight drug trafficking.

The workshop was the first step of a pilot train-the-trainers programme led by the EUROMED Police project that will result in a course addressed to experts and instructors from law enforcement agencies in the EU’s South Partner Countries. The training curriculum developed at this activity defines the content, learning outcomes and learning strategy of the train-the-trainers course and includes inputs from the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT) representatives, who participated in the event. 

The train-the-trainers programme will enable skilled experts in the EUROMED Police partner countries to cascade the acquired knowledge within their organisation, thus making training more sustainable and favouring the ownership of the developed course on drug trafficking.
