The objective of the project is to bring Türkiye’s practices in the field of crowd control closer to those of the EU by strengthening the capacities of chief civil administrators who hold critical duties, powers, and responsibilities for crowd control—and of civil inspectors responsible for conducting effective investigations.

• Identification of the key components of crowd control and effective investigation, and the preparation of procedural guidelines.
• Ensuring practical effectiveness in crowd control and effective investigation in alignment with best practices in the EU.

Within the scope of the project, trainings were provided to enhance the competencies of civil inspectors, chief civil-administrators, and law enforcement personnel in crowd control and related investigations.

Throughout the project, 800 chief civil-administrators and 400 law enforcement officers received training on crowd control. Additionally, 100 civil inspectors were trained on conducting effective investigations related to crowd control.

Alongside the training-of-trainers program, a “Crowd Control Guide” was prepared for civil-administration chiefs and a “Guide on Effective Investigation Related to Crowd Control” was prepared for civil inspectors.

The guides developed within the scope of the project have been integrated into the training programs for chief civil-administrators and civil inspectors. Through seminars held within this framework, more than one hundred individuals are trained on crowd control each year.

The project also involved a review of Turkish legislation on crowd control in terms of compliance with EU standards.
