TURKISH INSTITUTE FOR POLICE STUDIES |
 |
Mission
The Turkish Institute for Police Studies (TIPS) has been functionally housed at the University of North Texas for over five years. The aim of TIPS is to combine the practical experience of the Turkish National Police in policing areas (especially terrorism, organized crime, narcotics, administration, intelligence, and investigation) with the academic and theoretical foundation represented by masters and doctoral education in the United State universities. Its ultimate goal is to explore new practical and functional approaches to the global crime problem by using its members’ extensive experience throughout their academic journey as professionals.
Role
- The role of the TIPS is crucial because of the fact that in particular after the September 11, 2001, the world needs multilateral cooperation involving diverse parties in the world.
- Through TIPS, Turkey and the U.S. as well as other countries can share their concerns and experiences with respect to responding to the overwhelming problems the human being has ever faced.
- Problems, such as terrorism, organized crime, and other traditional and nontraditional criminal activities became burden on our shoulders. Through TIPS, Turkey can share its experiences on combating transnational crime, including terrorism, organized crime, and other criminal activities.
- Also, TIPS can facilitate acquiring invaluable knowledge and experience from variety of different universities and other institutions in the U.S.
- Turkey, owing its strategic importance to the region where it is located, can play a central role to demonstrate the value of democracy and human rights.
- TIPS will serve as an instrument which will not only bring people together from the US and Turkey, but also promote peace, human rights, democracy without fear of crime, corruption, and violence in other parts of the world including Middle East and former Soviet Union Republics.
- Given the close relationship between Turkey and these countries in terms of history, culture, and regional proximity, as an attempt to achieve these goals, Turkey has been training the police agencies in Republics in Caucasus area including Georgia, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.
