The Centre of Excellence on Public Security

The Centre of Excellence on Public Security

The Centre of Excellence on Public Security (CEPS) is a think tank based in Rio de Janeiro which studies aspects of public security, advocating multi-dimensional responses to Public Security issues. The CEPS works to bring together policy makers, operational law enforcement officers and independent experts, for dialogues towards generating innovative solutions to complex Public Security issues. The CEPS is overseen by a Scientific Advisory Board, whose chairman is Raymond Kendall, Honorary Secretary General of Interpol.

The CEPS has organised international dialogues on Public Security in Brazil and Africa, and coordinates dialogue on combating drug trafficking with Civil Police departments in the South Cone area on Brazil. CEPS is an initiative of The International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) formerly known as The Senlis Council, a Security and Development Policy Group established by The Network of European Foundations.

The Centre of Excellence on Public Security

"The Centre of Excellence on Public Security" was established by The Senlis Council in 2008 to bridge the gap between the perspectives of policymakers and practitioners with on-the-ground experience. The Centre facilitates dialogue and innovation on public security between key actors, encouraging a multi-sector approach that incorporates development and social policy with law enforcement strategies. The Centre offers research and consultancy services and works with governments to construct public security policies for the 21st century.

Public Security Scientific Board

The activities of the Centre of Excellence are overseen by an international Scientific Board of leading experts and practitioners from law enforcement, academic and managerial backgrounds. The Board is chaired by Raymond Kendall, the Former Secretary General of Interpol.
