Over 4000 police sign up to support harm reduction!

Not long to go!

The United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice will be held between the 22nd and 26th of April in Vienna.

With over 4000 signatures from police from all around the world, the Statement of Support for Harm Reduction will be launched at a meeting on Tuesday the 23rd of April.

The Statement has been created by police and for police, making it an important learning tool as well as a powerful step forward in acknowledging the often-underestimated role of law enforcement in HIV prevention. This launch is an opportunity to introduce the IPAG to the member states and delegations at the CCPCJ meeting. It is also a chance to voice the experiences and knowledge of the growing network of police officers committed to effective police practices for key populations affected by HIV.

Speakers Include

Superintendent Frank Hansen – Australia
Police Colonel Alexandr Zelitchenko – Kyrgyz Republic
Police Colonel Krisanaphong Poothakool – Thailand
Chief Superintendent Jones Blantari – Ghana
Senior Constable Melissa Jardine – Australia
