Original Description:
The ASEAN Chiefs of Police (ASEANAPOL) Conference will be holding its 27th session this year. Since its inception in 1981, the annual ASEANAPOL Conference has been the premier regional platform for all the ASEAN Police Chiefs and respective delegates to interact as well as to discuss, exchange views and update each other on the latest development in law enforcement and transnational issues in their respective countries.
The objectives of ASEANAPOL are namely enhancing police professionalism, forging stronger regional co-operation in police work and promoting lasting friendship amongst the police officers of ASEAN countries.
To strengthen rapport and promote greater ownership amongst ASEAN countries in the prevention and eradication of crime, the various ASEAN member countries take turns to host the annual event. This year, the 27th ASEANAPOL Conference will be organised by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) from 2 June 2007 to 7 June 2007 .
