Cross-border training seminar on risk profiling

The training seminar on “Organization of risk profiling at border crossing points to counter transnational crime” is developed for border service officers from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Experts from the Central Asian Regional Information Co-ordination Centre for Combating Illicit Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and their Precursors (CARICC), the Academy of the Border Service of the Committee for National Security and the Association of Psychologists of Kazakhstan will train border guards in how to develop a system of risk profiling, employ statistical instruments to analyse information on criminal incidents and develop an actionable in-depth risk profile. The training course will include techniques to better understand a person’s verbal and non-verbal behaviour as well as ways to identify specific risk indicators. A number of practical exercises will provide the participants with the opportunity to apply their newly-acquired skills.

The event is part of Office’s activities aimed to enhance the host country’s border security and promote integrated border security management, while countering transnational threats.
