Taking stock of what the INTERPOL Innovation Centre has learnt since its establishment 5 years ago, Ms. Hazenberg will share observations on where we are now as law enforcement. She will then present findings from high level engagements with INTERPOL member countries, including the 2nd INTERPOL Innovation Technology Advisory Group meeting and the 2nd edition of the INTERPOL Young Global Police Leaders Programme, about the future challenges confronting law enforcement – and notably about trust in a digital age. Building on these observations, Ms. Hazenberg will then give an overview of the Future of Policing, a major initiative launched by the INTERPOL Innovation Centre this year. The presentation will highlight key findings so far, in terms of the changes in the operational environment of law enforcement, what this means for the policing function and how we can prepare for these transformations, notably with regards to skills, training and development. Emphasizing the role of innovation and foresight for future preparedness, Ms. Hazenberg will then discuss outcomes from a recent foresight exercise conducted by the Innovation Centre on digital learning and training, including technological advances and practices that could enhance the experience of trainers and learners alike and better prepare police officers for the future
