Signing of a COOPERATION AGREEMENT between AMERIPOL, IRI-USP and the Mackenzie Law School.
AMERIPOL was created in 2007 as the Police Community of the Americas and is headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia. The purpose of the Cooperation Agreement is to promote police cooperation through professional training in AMERIPOL's 29 Member States. It also intends to develop an ATLAS OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM OF THE AMERICAS, a compendium that standardizes the terminology and legislative and institutional references used by Member States in relation to the following topics: illicit markets, money laundering, corruption and organized crime.
This initiative emerged as an initiative of the School of Multidimensional Security of IRI-USP with the objective of promoting research and extension courses for the area of public security. The most recent ESEM initiative was the course on Multidimensional Border Security, in partnership with the Ministry of Justice and Public Security of Brazil, which trained around 5,000 police officers from 9 countries in the region, as well as the publication of the ATLAS DO SISTEMA DE JUSTIÇA CRIMINAL DO MERCOSUR, a bilingual publication by the Portuguese publisher Almedina.
