Data protection is essential in international police cooperation and global sharing of police data. The workshop aimed to strengthen the understanding of the criminal justice community on how global trust can be built through robust data protection principles, and how INTERPOL effectively implements the principles and best practices in its daily activities of international policing.

From 30 September to 2 October 2020, the GLACY+ Project held the Online Workshop on Data Protection and Global Policing Capabilities for 39 representatives from the police, judiciary and data protection community in Cabo Verde. The three-day workshop organized as part of the GLACY + (Global Action on Cybercrime Extended) project in collaboration with INTERPOL was delivered by instructors from the INTERPOL Data Protection Office in Lyon and Regional Bureau in Buenos Aires.
