MINISTERS WILL ANALYZE CRIME AND VIOLENCE IN THE AMERICAS DURING SANTO DOMINGO MEETING
October 30, 2009
The Second Meeting of Ministers Responsible for Public Security in the Americas (known by its Spanish acronym, MISPA II) was described today by the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, as a meeting of great importance in an “indispensable” process that seeks solutions to one of the most pressing problems facing the citizens of the Americas.
The meeting, which will take place November 4 and 5, 2009, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, will address subjects such as the prevention of violence, public policy, the fight against organized crime and the exchange of experiences related to police intelligence.
“This is a meeting that brings together many of the things we have been doing at the OAS and we hope that even more interesting things will come out of it. We hope we will have a well attended and productive meeting,” said Secretary General Insulza.
“We have developed a series of initiatives that we are going to propose at MISPA II, to strengthen our work of cooperation against transnational delinquency as much as to propel other issues that are already in motion, such as the fight against money laundering or drug trafficking,” added the head of the OAS.
Most ministers and secretaries charged with public security in the region are expected to attend. The meeting also will feature presentations of representatives of INTERPOL, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), among others.
One of the top objectives of the meeting is the approval of the creation of a “School of Higher Learning on Public Safety,” which would offer training and education related to management of public safety to high-level police and civil officials in the hemisphere. The proposal for the School is based on a study of feasibility about the best ways of strengthening training and education of personnel charged with matters of public security in the region, a study that will be presented on the second day of the meeting.
The meeting will be inaugurated Wednesday with a ceremony attended by the President of the Dominican Republic, Leonel Fernández, Secretary General Insulza and the Secretary of the Interior and Police of the Dominican Republic, Franklin Almeyda.
