CWB International
Ethical. Focused. Secure.
Supporting counter-trafficking since 2016.
Who?
CWB International (formerly Cops Without Borders / Flics Sans Frontieres) is the trading name of Christian.
Christian has over 3 decades of law enforcement and investigative experience. But that doesn't make him a crusty old copper.
Since 2016 - including a stint with Interpol - Christian has built a solid reputation as a leader in supporting and guiding ethical projects to counter the trafficking of wildlife internationally.
He's trained over 1200 law enforcement agents internationally,
using his Conservation Oriented Policing Skills (COPS) curriculum
​
He's co-authored numerous academic papers on forensic, criminological, and practitioner-focused research on elements of tackling transnational crime.
He's a regular speaker at universities and public events.
He's worked across Africa and beyond, showcasing his fluent French skills.
He is a vocal advocate of ethical, transparent and human rights-centric
interventions in transnational trafficking trade, not only
from a policing and criminal justice perspective,
but also from the advocacy, policy
and community-led intervention side.
He's an acknowledged expert (and a member of GITOC and the DEFRA IWTAG) with a solid background in intelligence and investigations.
He's an active practitioner of the skills he shares and has contemporary experience in investigative methodologies.
