On May 17th, APLE and the Police Academy of Cambodia hosted a technical working group meeting to review a draft training manual focused on online child sexual exploitation and abuse. The session was highly productive, bringing together experts and stakeholders to gather valuable feedback for further refinement of the manual.
The aim of this meeting was to ensure the training manual is comprehensive and effective in equipping law enforcement officers with the knowledge and skills they need to combat online child sexual exploitation. The feedback received during the session will be crucial in enhancing the manual, making it a robust resource for police training.
Once finalized, the training manual will be integrated into the Police Academy’s curriculum, thereby institutionalizing the best practices for dealing with OCSEA. This initiative reflects APLE’s commitment to improving law enforcement capabilities through education and specialized training.
APLE remains dedicated to its mission of protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation. The development and implementation of this training manual mark a significant step forward in our collective efforts to create safer online environments for children.
APLE will continue to work closely with national and international partners to ensure that such initiatives receive the support they need. By fostering a culture of learning and continuous improvement, we aim to make significant progress in the fight against child exploitation and abuse.
