ECCB ANNUAL REPORT 2016/2017
Inaugural Meeting With ECCU Commissioners of Police
In its thrust to promote collaboration with various
stakeholders, the ECCB convened an inaugural
meeting with the Commissioners of Police of the ECCB
member countries on 2 February 2017 at the ECCB
Headquarters.
The key objectives of that engagement were to:
engender an avenue for information sharing
as it related to security matters and criminal
activities in the ECCU;
enhance commissioners’ appreciation and
understanding of the role and functions of the
ECCB; and
discuss ways to collaborate on opportunities
for training and development.
The ECCB team and the ECCU Commissioners of Police
discussed the importance of information sharing,
communication protocol and crucial security matters
and agreed on the following action items:
Training for a cadre of new police officers in
counterfeit detection;
Development of security protocol to guide
ECCB staff traveling throughout the ECCU;
Provision of monthly updates on crime related
matters from the member countries;
Development of a communication database for
sharing of information between the ECCB and
the Commissioners’ respective offices; and
Establishment of guidelines and operational
procedures that will ensure consistency and
maintain a high standard.
The joint meeting between the ECCB and the Police
Commissioners will convene at least once a year
to continue what is considered critical discourse
pertaining to safety and security issues within the
ECCU.
