“Together we are Utrecht”: the importance of an integrated approach to radicalisation and polarisation in the local context Falsified medicines, organized crime and legal responses A reflection on the ‘Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse’ Scotland (Maximum 20 participants)
Crime seen? Inadvertent entry into the criminal justice system as a result of a behaviour associated with epileptic seizure activity
LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION:
SUMMARY: SUMMARY:
Falsified and substandard medicines are a known public health problem and may cause drug resistance, treatment failure and death. In some low and middle income countries, up to and more than 15% of all drugs sold may be falsified or substandard. Falsified medicines are manufactured and sold by criminal individuals and organizations, exploiting weak national legislation and enforcement, and an unsuspecting and uninformed public.This session will address the growing global criminal trade in falsified medicines. Speakers will address both challenges in OECD and other regions. Discussion will focus on the collaboration and resources needed to strengthen legal frameworks and enforcement to address this deadly, 21st century public health threat.		 SUMMARY:
Scotland’s major method to prevent domestic abuse through policing and inter-agency collaboration has come from the introduction of the Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse, often known as ‘Clare’s Law’ (in remembrance of Clare Wood, murdered by her violent ex- partner in 2009). This session will provide an idea of the disclosure process and a reflection on positives and negatives from a local area perspective and will also discuss the partnership developed between Police Scotland and Women’s Aid in Scotland. Feedback from police officers on their own thoughts about dealing with domestic violence will be sought, and if other parts of Europe are considering Clare’s Law.		 SUMMARY:
A general introduction to the condition of epilepsy with short video clips of seizure activity and behaviour that may be misinterpreted, illustrated with case studies; a section on learning disabilities (LD) and the impact on the individual and those (e.g. the police) who may be in first contact with the individual; and then exercises to demonstrate LD. A list of questions the police should ask, looking beyond what they have seen or what has been reported to them, and finishing with a clip for the audience to decide if the person is experiencing a seizure or not.

Getting to LEAD: support for jurisdictions interested in replicating Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion Collaborative Outcomes Learning Tool for Prevent – a multi-agency approach to understanding and responding to extremism in Scotland Tactical anthropology for public safety organizations in rapidly diversifying communities Law enforcement-mental health collaborations to respond to children and families exposed to violence: the CDCP Program
LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION:
SUMMARY: This session will describe how and why LEAD was adopted in Seattle; how it might be applicable in other jurisdictions; and how the LEAD Support Bureau can assist in replication. Tools that will be discussed include evaluation, core principles, community engagement and police training. SUMMARY:
This session will discuss the development of, and showcase an interactive, flexible multi-agency learning resource funded by the Scottish Preventing Violent Extremism Unit, part of the Scottish Government. Developed by Robert Gordon University with a range of partners, the resource not only supports learners recognise potential vulnerabilities to radicalisation but to better understand their role in safeguarding the individual from harm. The resource introduces five fictitious cases from a range of ideologies each centred on a main character. Key surrounding fictional individuals share insight into each main character, expressing their perspectives on identified behaviours. Learning is supported by facilitated discussions, knowledge checks and real life best practice responses by sector specific professionals. Key experts also provide insight into contemporary issues relating to Prevent to support additional learning in this area.		 SUMMARY:
Public safety agencies increasingly need to develop tactics, techniques, and practices in tactical anthropology that could help them better meet the needs of marginalized populations within their jurisdictions. The development of Cultural Asset Teams within public safety agencies could provide urgently needed expertise in a variety of areas for these at-risk communities. Specially trained law enforcement staff could conduct rapid needs assessments; key leader engagements; community outreach activities; and other services that could help ensure the safety and wellbeing of all populations within a community. A law enforcement trainer will discuss the rapidly changing demographics of communities; describe the implications for law enforcement personnel; present the concept of tactical anthropology; describe ways to develop and operate cultural asset teams in law enforcement agencies; and analyze case studies of public safety organizations that have improved services and engagement.		 SUMMARY:
Internationally, police may have been agents of marginalization but establishing relationships with communities in which they work is the best way for officers to begin and most effectively sustain the process of protecting and serving their communities. In 1991, the Yale Child Study Center developed the groundbreaking Child Development-Community Policing (CD-CP) Program in partnership with the New Haven Police Department. In CD-CP communities, police officers play a central part in the intervention, capitalizing on their roles as representatives of control and authority in the face of violent and traumatic events. Mental health professionals are on call 24/7, to respond immediately to police calls involving child victims or witnesses to violence. Working together, police and mental professionals coordinate multi-system interventions that re-establish safety, security and well-being in the immediate wake of violent events. Panellists will describe the principles and approaches of the CD-CP program, show a brief film, and engage participants in discussion about how the program applies to international communities.

Better policy mapping through science
This Skills Training Session pitches the idea that a practice of “policy surveillance” to help end the anomalous treatment of law in policy research and practice. Policy surveillance is the systematic, scientific collection and analysis of laws of public health significance. It is accomplished through the scientific collection and coding of important laws and policies, and supported by the availability of affordable yet sophisticated web-based solutions for data creation and publication. Come and see examples of policy surveillance products (including a drug policy resource developed for the US National Institutes of Health) and test-drive the cutting-edge software for tracking the policies that matter to you.To see the tool in action, visit www.PDAPS.org or www.LawAtlas.org

Implementing the Police, Ambulance and Clinical Early Response (PACER) team in Geelong: a regional example of police-mental health partnership How can the introduction of new evaluation criteria of operational police performance help protect the rights of vulnerable communities? Balancing health and safety A safe and inclusive internal organization climate in Law Enforcement as a necessity for adequately ‘policing’ vulnerable communities
LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION:
SUMMARY:
Aiming to contribute to best practice in developing police and mental health co-response teams, this presentation offers an overview of the implementation and operation of the Police, Ambulance and Clinical Early Response (PACER) model in the regional city of Geelong, Victoria (Australia). It also provides a valuable opportunity for knowledge exchange on building success and addressing potential challenges to this type of collaboration.		 SUMMARY:
This session will outline Kyrgyzstan’s Ministry of Interior’s and public health organizations’ joint development of new evaluation criteria for the operational police’s performance in order to protect rights of vulnerable communities. After describing the achievements and challenges of the initiative, a facilitated discussion will encourage a knowledge exchange through sharing of best practices, mechanisms and initiatives, and practical experience so as to foster an effective partnership between operational police and public health organizations, focusing on protection of rights of vulnerable communities in particular, and practical approaches that are relevant for operational police.		 SUMMARY:
people function in everyday life, with possible illnesses or defects. Positive Health describes six dimensions: body function/mental wellbeing/spiritual – existential dimension/quality of life/social and community participation/ daily functioning. Positive Health endorses the need for comprehensive approaches, which also fits seamlessly with changes in the social domain. We connect these six dimensions with community policing, citizen participation and self-reliance.		 SUMMARY:
Creating a safe organizational climate results in a better understanding and performance of law enforcement in protecting and serving the community/ marginalized communities and a more trustworthy institute as part of a democratic society. This session by the Dutch Police includes a presentation and debate on the necessity of a safe internal working climate in law enforcement as a precondition for adequately dealing with vulnerable communities. We will give a short presentation about our point of view and facilitate the discussion/ debate with examples of dilemmas.

LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION:
SUMMARY:
The aim of the workshop is to increase knowledge on how to prevent further impairment of functioning in high risk individuals and thereby avoid danger of aggression aimed at others. In the past few years a method has been developed that focusses on a) risk assessment, b) a person-centered approach, c) cooperation between stakeholders.
The method will be explained in detail, including the instruments used for risk assessment. Participants of the workshop will be invited to contribute case histories to facilitate a discussion on how to deal with information and privacy, in the collaboration with different stakeholders like police, mental health care or community services. Attention will be paid to possible conflicts of interest that may arise when sharing information.		 SUMMARY:
The Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program is a community-based diversion approach for people who commit law violations due to behavioral health issues, with the goals of improving public safety and public order and reducing illegal behavior. This session will focus on why law enforcement agencies may be motivated to adopt LEAD and how to engage rank and file officers in doing so. The session will also explore the benefits of cross-system cooperative efforts between law enforcement and public health/social work practitioners. Particular attention will be paid to how front line officers were engaged in adopting and implementing LEAD, police training, and the practical details of how to replicate this approach.		 SUMMARY:
This session will share insights into the collaborative development of alcohol safety messages over the Christmas period through a partnership approach comprising Police Scotland, Robert Gordon University (RGU) students and the Weekend Partnership, a group of 70 partner agencies based in Aberdeen, Scotland involved in promoting the safety and diversity of the city’s night time economy.A series of short videos developed by the RGU students will be shown. They highlight common alcohol-related safety issues reported to emergency services and support agencies involving those venturing out over the festive period. The importance of such a partnership approach and the impetus for development from a community perspective will be discussed. The focus, co-development and subsequent management of the six videos will be shared. After viewing the videos participants can discuss with presenters the lessons learned, plans for future collaborations and opportunities to develop such resources in their own areas.		 SUMMARY:
We have produced many these resources designed to provide objective information and rational guidance regarding police and harm reduction. The information is presented by law enforcement, for law enforcement, which has accounted for broader acceptance to the information than if it were presented by a non-police organization. The resources and productions which will be highlighted aim to relate the various laws, regulations and public policy to the street level. Additionally, a policy template will be discussed which uses best practices and experiences to provide policy guidance to law enforcement agencies to successfully integrate with local harm reduction operations.

Sexual Assault Center Amsterdam-Amstelland: accessible and essential care for all recent victims of sexual assault Think Tank: How do we best achieve a joined-up police and mental health response to mental health crises? (DOWNLOAD)
LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION: LOCATION:
SUMMARY:
In 2012, the United States Attorney General’s Defending Childhood Task Force recommended enhancing the collaboration between law enforcement and mental health service providers to ensure that all children exposed to violence are routinely identified, screened and assessed. The US Department of Justice has been working in collaboration with the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Childhood Violent Trauma Center at the Yale Child Study Center (Yale), to create a toolkit designed to enhance law enforcement’s capacity to respond to CEV. Panellists will describe the tools and resources, as well as the results of a comprehensive national training initiative.		 SUMMARY:
The family group conference movement has disseminated from New Zealand all over the world. Its main principles are “let people decide themselves” and “ Enlarge the family circle”. In The Netherlands over 10.000 family group conferences (FGC) have taken place. When children are about to fall under courtcustody, parents can make a detailed plan together with family members, friends and people from their neighbourhood so children can stay with their family. In The Netherlands the model of the family group conference is applied to other social themes, like mental health problems, disabled persons, aged people in isolation, financial and housing problems. The FGC can also be applied to nuisance in the neighbourhood and as restorative justice. All FGCs are systematically evaluated by the participants. This Presentation will provide general information about the family group conference, examples of its application, and discussion about the possible role of local police officers.		 SUMMARY:
Since 2012, the Police and Public Health Service, Amsterdam have been working together intensively to provide victims of sexual abuse or assault with timely and essential care, and the opportunity to optimize their chances of success in the criminal justice system. This cooperation was expanded in January 2016 with multiple partners and housed in the new Sexual Assault Center (Centrum Seksueel Geweld, CSG). We will present the method of the Center and how the cooperation expanded to include more partners. Using case studies we will explore what makes the cooperation stronger or weaker. All participants are explicitly invited to provide their own solutions and suggestions for further development.		 SUMMARY:
How can we, when a crisis situation occurs, come to a good joined (mental health care and police) and rapid response that preferably takes place on the spot or at least makes sure that mental health care professionals are involved as soon as possible? Options include:

  • Minimizing police involvement to a role in which police only is responsible for safety
  • Maximizing client involvement (and involvement client’s network)
  • Mental Health Care professionals on the spot (preferably at patients home)
  • No unnecessary intermediaries, client needs the appropriate care immediately
  • Ability to function in rural areas (in terms of response time, cost effectiveness, etc)
