The smuggling of people across international borders in violation of established laws is a serious problem in the world today. Since commencing training in 2005, JCLEC has been addressing issues relating to transnational crime.
In 2009, JCLEC in cooperation with its partners has expanded its training programs to providing assistance to the Indonesian National Police in targeting offences related to People Smuggling. The series of programs which commenced in July 2009, includes training in all aspects of Police activities related to People Smuggling.
 | A major theme of the programs delivered at JCLEC
is the multi-agency response that is required when combating People
Smuggling. For this reason, there is a large amount of interaction with
other agencies including; Multi Law Enforcement agency cooperation,
Immigrasi, IOM and UNHCR. |
During programs participants are required to carry out class room and syndicate exercises as well as a practical scenario which encompasses topics taught during the program.
People Smuggling is a current and significant issue throughout the region. Indonesia is one of the most popular country chosen by the smuggler either to be the origin, transit or destination country for this profitable transnational organised crime. The incidence of People Smuggling has increased over the last twelve months and the impact of this activity is economically and socially significant.
