Rising to the Challenges of Public Security in the 21st Century


Based in Rio de Janeiro, ICOS’s Centre of Excellence on Public Security identifies new global challenges for public security in the 21st century. It provides innovative research, advocacy and policy analysis to promote pragmatic responses, supporting states to solve public security crises and pave the way for social and economic development. The Public Security Centre draws on wide-ranging experience gained in work that explores the links between security and development, particularly our counter-narcotics and global insurgency programmes.

Scientific Board


Mr. Raymond Kendall,
Honorary Secretary General,

ICOS has brought together a panel of leading public security consultants combining expertise from policy, academic and operational fields in Brazil and across the globe. Chaired by the law enforcement officer and former Secretary General of Interpol (the International Criminal Police Organisation), Mr. Raymond Kendall, the Board serves as an international task team to address public security challenges.

The Board draws on ICOS’s diverse portfolio covering insurgency and public security policy and unique research perspective that provides local, national and international understanding. It offers advice and analysis to public security agencies, governmental bodies and multilateral policymaking organisations.
