A fully renovated and equipped Co-ordination Centre at the Main Department on Combatting Organized Crime under the Kyrgyz Ministry of Interior opens today in Bishkek with the support of the OSCE Centre in Bishkek (Police Matters Programme). The Centre will co-ordinate nation-wide activities against organised crime and co-operate with all law enforcement agencies on combatting cross border offences.
In 2013, the Kyrgyz Ministry of Interior addressed the OSCE with a request to assist the Main Department on Combatting Organized Crime with education programmes and technical equipment in order to increase professional capacities of the staff with a view to create an inter-agency platform for combatting more effectively organised crime.
The OSCE project “Strengthening Law Enforcement capacities to fight organised crime and serious crimes” under the Police Matters Programme increases co-operation, co-ordination, capacity and policies to fight organised crime and is devised as a tool to implement national strategies and action plans.
