INCIDENCIA DE LA COOPERACIÓN INTERNACIONAL Y OPORTUNIDADES DE TRANSFORMACIÓN EN LA POLICÍA NACIONAL DE COLOMBIA.

Over the past decade, Colombia has advanced processes of cooperation and mutual interest that promote knowledge transfer and resource management to tackle the issue of multi-criminality, alongside various factors impacting citizen security in both local and global contexts. These efforts are grounded in the training and education of members of the Armed Forces (National Police, 2019). As a result, Colombia has emerged as a leader in fostering collaboration. This paper aims to explore the role of the National Police in international cooperation efforts and examine how the institution can be further strengthened by establishing collaborative links with other organizations globally. The methodological approach employed was qualitative, consisting of three phases involving the review and analysis of primary and secondary documentary sources related to national and institutional policies, plans, and strategies on international cooperation. As a result, the study offers a series of recommendations for the institution to enhance its capacity to leverage international cooperation opportunities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
