The Bulgarian Organised Crime Threat Assessment (BOCTA) aims to introduce in Bulgaria a policy process, already successfully implemented in several EU Member States, to assess and monitor the threats from organized crime. At the core of this process is a national annual organized crime threat assessment (OCTA) report. This policy instrument is being implemented by the Center for the Study of Democracy and the Ministry of Interior, the State Agency for National Security (SANS), the Revenue Agency, and the Customs Agency. It also benefits from the participation of experts from the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), Europol, the Dutch Criminal Police, the Belgian Federal Police, and Criminal Police of North Rhine-Westphalia.A set of seminars from partner law-enforcement agencies aimed at familiarizing the inter- agency task force members with the national experience in selected member states. more>>
