“Global challenges call for global solutions.” Former UK Security Minister, Tom Tugendhat
Across the world, criminal agencies are having to respond to new trends, advancements in technology and increasingly sophisticated criminal networks. If threats such as organised crime, fraud and counter-terrorism are to be tackled effectively, international cooperation is key.
From 4-7th November, Glasgow will host the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly, bringing together 196 members to discuss how such global threats can be prevented and tackled. To coincide with this critical policing and public safety event, Holyrood will be running a series of standalone events at the Radisson Red, on 3rd and 4th November.
Across two days, sessions will explore a range of global and domestic challenges, from cyber-crime and data sharing to child sexual exploitation and safer cities. It will provide delegates with the opportunity to hear from global experts who are deploying cutting edge technologies to enforce laws across international borders and keep ahead of criminal gangs.
Through a mix of keynote presentations, panel discussions and ‘in conversation’ style sessions, the event will consider how we can and should be responding to some of the most pressing issues of our time.
