On 17-21 July, twenty investigators and psychologists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) completed the first round of training of trainers (ToT) on interviewing juvenile victims and offenders.

As a result, the participants have improved their capacity to train their peers in interviewing minors and formed a pool of trainers. Having this pool enables MIA and its Academy to cover the relevant training needs of the police without external support. The module of the ToT was designed to provide investigators with practical knowledge, skills and interviewing techniques, as well as skills to train other representatives of the MIA.

This activity was organised within the framework of the Council of Europe Project “Human Rights Compliant Policing in Georgia” (HRCPG) which is designed to address the issues related to effective policing in line with human rights standards, the rights of detained persons and their treatment by police, the treatment of juvenile victims and offenders as well as effective investigation into alleged ill-treatment by police and effective remedies against police misconduct.

We work together to promote Human rights, Democracy and Rule of Law.
