Document Security and Fraud Prevention
Objective To improve the ability of target countries’ law enforcement, customs and immigrations personnel to improve their controls on the issuance of travel and identity documents and their capability to detect fraudulent documents, in order to prevent their counterfeiting, forgery, or fraudulent use.  Enhanced detection capabilities will improve border security and help to promote cooperation and the exchange of information to prevent and control document fraud, in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution UNSCR 1373 and the Inter-American Convention against Terrorism. 
Description

To fully realize the above-mentioned objectives, CICTE organizes specific training, in partnership with technical assistance providers, such as the Forensic Document Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

This program will be executed in three parts:

1. Assessments to evaluate each country’s effectiveness and deficiencies.

2. Training sessions tailored to mitigate the needs of Member States.

3. Evaluation of training impact on ability of personnel trained.

 
Audience The main audience for this program is immigrations and other front-line officers with supervisory responsibilities. Additional target audiences will be determined following assessments of training needs in Member States.
