The Centre of Excellence on Public Security was established by The International Council on Security and Development (ICOS) in 2008 to bridge the gap between the perspectives of policymakers and practitioners with on-the-ground experience. The Centre facilitates dialogue and innovation on public security between key actors, encouraging a multi-sector approach that incorporates development and social policy with law enforcement strategies. The Centre offers research and consultancy services and works with governments to construct public security policies for the 21st century.
