TADOC

Being major beneficiaries of globalization and technological advancements, organized crime groups have proliferated in the last decades. Highly motivated by the enormous lucrative illicit businesses, criminal organizations undermine national sovereignty and security and pose serious threats to regional stability and development.

Organized crime groups, today, deploy the most complex and sophisticated methods in performing their illicit activities. Therefore, the need for well-trained and well equipped law enforcement agencies & agents is now greater than ever before. Besides, strong international cooperation is vital to achieve success in fight against organized crime. 

Having strong belief in international cooperation, Turkey has supported every initiative aimed at combating drug trafficking at the international level. In line with this understanding, the Turkish International Academy against Drugs and Organized Crime (TADOC) was established in Ankara on June 26, 2000 (the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking) under the Turkish National Police Counter-Narcotics and Organized Crime Department and within the framework of Turkey-UNODC collaboration.

With its experienced trainers, international subject experts, state of the art facilities and equipments, and the training programs developed according to the needs of the region, TADOC provides distinguished training not only to the personnel of the national law enforcement agencies, but also to the law enforcement personnel of the countries that Turkey signed bilateral cooperation agreements and treaties with.

TADOC is also a significant contributor of the training projects organized within multinational organizations and institutions such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), NATO-Russia Council (NRC), Economical Cooperation Organization (ECO), and Black Sea Economical Cooperation (BSEC). 

Since TADOC was established, TADOC has implemented 280 international training programs with the participation of 3925 law enforcement personnel from 82 different countries.
