Activities: Working Group on Administration & Management of Internal Security Agencies

Activities in 2014

Meeting of the Working Group on Administration and Management of Internal Security Agencies
WG Programme Coordinators:

Sander Pollumae, Estonian Academy of Security Sciences (EASS), Tallin, Estonia
Gábor Kovács, National University of Public Service, Budapest, Hungary
 

Place:  The 22nd NISPAcee Annual Conference, Budapest, Hungary
Date:  May 22-24, 2014
 

The NISPAcee Working Group on Administration and Management of Internal Security Agencies was founded on 20th annual conference of NISPAcee with an aim to bring together researchers and practitioners of different areas of internal security (police, prison and other agencies). The need for such working group was drawn by the lack of such forum and importance of the field. After a short introductory period this WG has been revived this year due to the initiative of the National University of Public Service (NUPS), Budapest. Despite the very short organisational timeframe the topics covered by this WG could meet the interests of many paper-applicants becoming one of the „largest” WG-s having 22 papers presented during the three days by Estonian, Slovenian and Hungarian experts.

The presenters – representing mostly the Faculty of Law Enforcement and the Institution of Disaster Management of NUPS – analysed the WG topic in strategic, institutional, legislative and executive aspects pointing out the successful results and also the difficulties of this area.

The Estonian and Hungarian WG coordinators working in good cooperation have found the work and the outcome of the WG successful, effective and beneficial „producing” some added value in the analysed field. Considering immigration issues as main focus for next year and possibilities for contracting out tasks of internal security agencies as the main topic the coordinators of the working group find that the working group should continue and is able to contribute for the next annual conference. Therefore, the coordinators plan to organize this WG next year again in Georgia with the hope of being able to cover more heterogeneous issues presented by a more international, multicultural expert network representing more countries.
