Dennis Hand | Programme Management Specialist
UNODC Regional Center for Combating Cybercrime

As a dedicated professional in border management and travel intelligence, I specialize in enhancing national and international security through the effective use of advanced data analysis, passenger targeting, and intelligence-led border checks. With a strong background in managing Passenger Information Units (PIUs) and National Targeting Centers (NTCs), I have extensive experience in handling and leveraging Passenger Data, including (i)API and PNR data (PAXLST & PNRGOV), to prevent and counter transnational threats.

A key aspect of my work involves the development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Terms of Reference (ToRs) for PIUs and NTCs, aimed at optimizing their operational effectiveness and ensuring compliance with international standards. My strategic approach to border management is built on a foundation of collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and a commitment to safeguarding national and international security.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in travel intelligence and border policing to contribute to global security efforts and foster safe, efficient, and effective border management systems.
