NoHatePolice
Enhancing the Police Response to Hate through Training in Greece and Cyprus.
Our Mission
The NoHatePolice project is dedicated to providing comprehensive training for police officers in Greece and Cyprus. Our goal is to enhance the ability of police officers, commanders, cadets, and investigators to recognize and respond to hate incidents. We plan to achieve this by conducting a series of 20 seminars, with an expected participation of 400 individuals across different police functions. By providing this training, we aim to create safer communities for all.
The Importance of Training Police
Recognizing discriminated people, the characteristics of discriminatory behaviour and what constitutes a hate crime
About The Project
Hate crimes are a serious problem throughout the EU. They threaten the security not only of individuals, but of society at large, since they often spark broader violence and conflict.
The purpose of the project is to build the capacity of police forces to successfully combat hate speech and hate crime, in Greece and in Cyprus. This NoHate Police project brings two police forces, two civil society organisations and two research and education institutes – across three European countries – in order to build the knowledge and expertise of police forces in Greece and Cyprus on effective methods of recognizing, understanding and investigating hate crimes.
