Webinars on Police and Public Health in African Countries

Invitation

Optimum community safety and wellbeing comes from effective partnerships between two sectors that do not have a strong or happy history of working together: law enforcement, especially police and prosecutors, and public health, especially in its alliances with affected communities. The Global LEPH Association is building an African Regional Law Enforcement and Public Health Association to raise awareness of the importance of the partnership and promote networking and sharing of experience across African countries.

Second webinar series: Police and the Covid-19 epidemic in African countries

Nowhere is the role of police in public health more apparent or important than in the current Covid-19 epidemic. GLEPHA is holding a series of webinars on aspects of policing and public health, the first in the series being on the police role in the pandemic.

For police, it would be a very good idea for small groups, of 3-5 police colleagues, to watch and participate together, so they can discuss and feed back. This of course may not be possible, because of the coronavirus epidemic.
