Current projects on improving policing
Efus is working on several projects that tackle the role of police in urban security. One of them is the new EU-POLNET network of European local forces. We are also partners in two EU-funded projects: KOBAN on community policing, and PACTESUR 2 on the protection of public spaces, which includes police academies 👇 |

We are looking forward to meeting the new cabinet officials to discuss our members' priorities on issues of urban security. (Photo: iStock - olrat) |
