SUMMARY

The important role which law enforcement and criminal justice authorities can play in dealing with cases of corruption and crime in sport has steadily grown in recent years. No longer seen as an issue affecting only stakeholders involved in sport, it is now widely recognised, at national, regional and international levels, that these threats need to be addressed in a comprehensive manner.

With this in mind, IPACS established a Task Force on Cross-Sector Cooperation to identify gaps that weaken and develop mechanisms to enhance cooperation between law enforcement and criminal justice authorities and sport organisations.
