Regional Collaboration to Combat Transnational Crime, a part of the Towards a More Safe and Secure World Series
In support of U.S. efforts to counter transnational crime, terrorism, and violent extremism, this project makes America safer by promoting global cooperation in the war against transnational crime. It will examine how the U.S. government at all levels, often in cooperation with private-sector institutions such as faith-based organizations and NGOs, works to secure its borders and combat illicit trafficking of drugs, arms, and persons. Participants will examine the broad range of policies; operational strategies; and federal, state, and local government and private-sector institutions working to combat transnational crime and guarantee the integrity of cross-border commerce and travel.
