3059/2026/WEB 'Ensuring fair policing to encourage hate crime reporting'

The aim of this webinar is to present how fair policing is connected to and impacts hate crime reporting.

By the end of this webinar, the audience will be able to:

• Identify barriers to reporting faced by victims and communities and describe strategies to encourage greater trust and engagement in the reporting process;
• Recognise how unaddressed bias and discrimination in policing and beyond impacts confidence to report hate crime.

EMPACT training activity

Combatting new forms of organised crime requires more cooperation between police and gendarmes, customs officers, border guards, judges, and prosecutors. EU institutions, agencies and Member States work together to tackle organised and serious international crime through a permanent and key instrument: the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT).

CEPOL plays a crucial role in the EMPACT mechanism through the provision of specialised training and the identification of training needs within each common security threat. Every year, CEPOL provides a comprehensive training package for each common EU crime priority consisting of onsite, online and exchange training activities.
