The 8th Symposium on Police Studies of the Straits cum Hong Kong and Macao will be held in Taiwan from December 2 to 4 and Force members are invited to submit papers on the main theme - "Reflection and Vision on the Mechanism for Cross-boundary Police Co-operation". The Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao have joined hands in combatting cross-boundary crimes. However, the different legal systems in the four jurisdictions impede "intelligence exchange", "making arrests, "repatriation of criminals", "mutual assistance in investigations", "collection of evidence" and "handover of stolen property". The theme of the 8th Symposium inspires the jurisdictions to identify the problems of cross-boundary co-operation in policing on the basis of theories and explore possible solutions. It also provides a good opportunity to share experience in co-operation across the jurisdictions. Force members are invited to submit papers on the sub-themes below: (a) Enhancing Co-operation in Combatting Cross-boundary Drug-related Crime; (b) Strengthening Co-operation in Combatting Cross-boundary Telecommunications Fraud; (c) Strengthening Co-operation in Combatting Cross-boundary Economic Crime; (d) Co-operation in Combatting Cross-boundary Organised Crime; (e) Expanding Co-operation in Combatting Cross-boundary Human Smuggling; (f) Police Information Exchange and Co-operation among the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao; (g) Establishing a Framework for Co-operation in Police Training among the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao; (h) Comparative Study of Legal Systems for Combatting Cross-boundary Crime and the Mindset for Co-operation among the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao (i) Review of the Effectiveness of Cross-Strait Co-operation in Combatting Crimes and Mutual Legal Assistance and the Way Forward; and (j) Theoretical and Practical Issues related to Policing, Fire Services, Rescue Services and Port Formalities.
