Fundamental rights-based police training: A manual for police trainers

This training manual seeks to help foster a relationship of trust between police and society as a whole by integrating human rights considerations into police training. The rights to non-discrimination, dignity and life are a particular focus, as they are cornerstones of peaceful and diverse societies. The manual also seeks to promote fundamental rights as a tool to enhance police effectiveness and professionalism.

The manual focuses on crucial police-related issues, such as diversity and non-discrimination, the absolute prohibition of torture, and also the human rights of police officers. Tried and tested with different police academies in the EU, the manual is intended as a practical tool for implementing fundamental rights-based policing in the EU.
