RESPOND-A @ CEPOL Research & Science Conference 2022, Vilnius Preparing law enforcement for the digital age has been the main theme of this year’s CEPOL Research and Science Conference, bringing together 200 participants from around 30 countries and 7 international organisations. The conference has been organised by the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL), jointly with Mykolas Romeris University, in Vilnius, Lithuania,on 10th June 2022 – within the scope of CEPOL’s Justice and Home Affairs Agencies Network presidency programme. By bringing together ideas and perspectives of practitioners, trainers and educators in policing and other areas of law enforcement, with researchers and academic scholars from Europe and the international sphere, the conference main objective has been to provide answers on how to upskill law enforcement officials so that they can stay ahead of crime and better respond to the challenges of new ground-breaking technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI). Cross-border cooperation, exchanging knowledge and good practices, and the respect of fundamental rights, are key elements of success. Under the title of “RESPOND-A Project: how digital tools can help LEAs managing emergencies” RESPOND-A was presented to an audience of 200 representatives, most of them from law enforcement. You can find the agenda here.
On 8-9 June 2022, the RESPOND-A project organised its 4th training session in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The event, hosted by University Hospital Saint-George, gathered 50 participants including practitioners from across Europe (Bulgaria, Spain, Cyprus) and was aimed at familiarising first responders to use new solutions while giving technology providers the opportunity to test and collect feedback on their products. RESPOND-A (Next-generation equipment tools and mission-critical strategies for First Responders) is an EU-funded research project aimed at enhancing the safety as well as the operational capabilities of first responders through innovation. Training is a key component of RESPOND-A at it allows first responders to get hands-on training with the various technologies developed by the project. The training was articulated around three phases to simulate a real disaster scenario. The first was the data collection phase, during which technologies, such as smart body health and environmental sensors, were used to gather key information from heterogeneous sources. During the second phase, data processing, data is aggregated and translated to be further usable by crisis managers. The last was the data usage phase, where information is received by crisis managers who then rely on specific technologies that improve the coordination and overall management of the emergency response. This exercise was followed by complementary sessions respectively addressing Augmented Reality and Cybersecurity Awareness and punctuated by an evacuation simulation using serious gaming and supported by local practitioners (Plovdiv Fire Service and and police officers from the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior). You can find relevant material about the training (technologies tested and pictures) on the RESPOND-A website. The 5th and final training of the project will take place back to back with the RESPOND-A Final Demonstration, in February 2023.
