Public and private sector partnerships to share information voluntarily is one of the latest and highly valued way to speed-up crime investigation and add make suspicious transaction reports more meaningful. Nevertheless, there is a long way to fully use the potential of such partnerships. Only several countries have introduced an appropriate legal framework and tested it on first real cases, and we can proudly say that Latvia is one of them.
RUSI is one of the UK’s leading think-tank’s studying the impact of information sharing partnerships, and their studies pawed the way to introduce this concept in Latvia. Besides the legal framework, one of the keys to a successful operation is trust-building in order to facilitate willingness to share meaningful information which can be used both for the private and public sector.
Attendance is by invitation only; participants will get 3 CAMS credits.
