On 30 November 2018, Madame Monique Stirn, General Inspector of the police, and M. Vincent Fally, Deputy General Inspector, welcomed a delegation from the Belgian Standing Police Monitoring Committee of control of police services, Comité P, in the context of a benchmarking exercise “Policing the Police – A European Benchmark. Findings of the Belgian Standing Police Monitoring Committee in Search of Good Practices” initiated by them.
This comparative study, aiming to analyze the working methods and organisations of different police oversight bodies in Europe in order to identify best practices, is an excellent initiative and a way to intensify exchange of views and experiences between peers.
For this project the Belgian Standing Police Monitoring Committee received the “Award EPAC/EACN 2018” at the 18th Annual Conference of the EPAC/EACN in Rust.
