On July 24, we had the pleasure of sharing our expertise at the International Congress on Good Practice in Security and Crime Prevention, organized by our member the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the municipality of Querétaro in Mexico. One of the topics covered was the importance of community policing in creating a climate of trust between law enforcement agencies and local communities. In addition, Oscar Figueroa, our strategic consultant in Latin America, outlined our impact internationally and in Quebec, particularly through projects developed by our Urban Safety Laboratory, which was implemented in 2020. The day was also an opportunity to share best practices with local, national, and international stakeholders, and to strengthen our collaboration for the creation of  safer and more sustainable cities.

In addition, on August 21, we  had the opportunity to build on  this momentum by  speaking in the Municipality of Nuevo León, at the 3rd municipal community prevention forum, and during a visit to the León Metropolitan Public Security Academy in Guanajuato. This time, our role was twofold: to contribute our expertise as specialists in criminal analysis, and to develop a relationship with  stakeholders involved in  the police academy. This visit was essential to explore  the possibilities of  support that the ICPC could offer to this municipality, and to other municipalities in Mexico. It also illustrated our commitment to supporting our local partners in the implementation of effective prevention strategies tailored to local realities.

These two events demonstrate our commitment to consolidating our presence in Latin America, not only by sharing our knowledge and expertise, but also by forging close relationships with key partners in the region.
