The parameters of “policing” differ from one EU member state to another. In some it encompasses leading criminal investigations, in others it includes counter terrorism protection. Taking a wide definition of “policing” this research network will focus on the development of the cross border policing provisions which is increasingly being legislated for by the EU. Through a variety of opt in and opt out provisions the EU member states are engaging in a variable geometry approach to the EU policing provisions. The EFTA member sates are also highly involved in the EU policing provisions through their membership of the Schengen Convention 1990. In addition, EU international policing provisions have been developing apace, with highly developed relationships inter alia, with the USA. The above will be the focus of this research network.

Drug Courier Survey

moneill — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:32:14 +0000

I am currently engaged in a research project, in collaboration with the European Monitoring Centre For Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). The aim of this project is to increase the knowledge and understanding of drug trafficking in Europe and in particular those those responsible for trafficking drugs.

The first stage of this is an attempt to standardise, as much as possible, the understanding of terms and roles throughout Europe. In order to get as wide a response as possible the following survey has been sent to professionals from across Europe who work in the fields of Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice, Government and Academia.

You are kindly invited to complete our survey which can be found at the following link:

We would also be very grateful if you would consider forwarding this post, or the survey link, to any colleagues whose input might also benefit this study.

* Due to the deadline for submission of the final report we ask that you submit your responses no later than 31st July 2010 *

Many thanks.
