Prague , December 27, 2021 – The International Institute for Security (MBI) has published a record of the workshop New Possibilities in the Field of Situational Crime Prevention, which it organized on December 7, 2021 together with the Crime Prevention Department of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic. Experts from the public and private sectors, including MBI experts, presented the latest trends in the use of modern technologies in crime prevention, including the possibilities of public support for their implementation, especially to representatives of municipalities and municipal police. The recording of the workshop, including additional materials and information, can be viewed after prior registration on the website www.mbi.expert in the Our Conferences tab.
“I think that despite all the difficulties associated with the current situation, the workshop was very successful. Especially if we take into account that this was the first year. The experience gained during its organization at the International Institute for Security will certainly help us to make the next years even better and of better quality,” says JUDr. Rudolf Blažek, Chairman of the Management Board of MBI. “Without the ongoing training of experts in charge of crime prevention in our country, we would only be stagnant in this area. As an International Institute for Security, we want to actively contribute to the professional development of the Czech security scene. That is why today we published a video recording of our workshop, which maps new possibilities in the field of situational crime prevention, so that we can make its content available to the wider professional public,” concludes Rudolf Blažek.
