Perhaps there was a missing link? All your leads led nowhere? Have you had cases where your suspect was working with international criminals across the border? Europol could have helped you in all of these cases. Europol supports investigators in the 27 EU countries to prevent and combat all forms of serious international crime and terrorism. Europol offi cers have no direct powers of arrest. Their task is to support law enforcement colleagues working across Europe by gathering, analysing and dissem- inating criminal intelligence and coordinating international police operations. Europol’s partners use this input to prevent, detect and investigate crimes, and to track down and prosecute the criminals. Europol delivers a unique set of operational services for the European Union, acting as the: ▪ support centre for law enforcement operations ▪ criminal information hub and ▪ centre for law enforcement expertise. The European investigator provides a succinct overview of how EU law enforcement of- fi cers can benefi t from Europol’s operational support. Each chapter illustrates the different kind of assistance offered by Europol: 3 ▪ Operational analysis ▪ Mobile office — On-the-spot support ▪ Forensic and technical support ▪ The benefits of employing a Joint Investigation Team and ▪ Information on your Europol National Unit. If you think your investigation could benefi t from Europol’s assistance, please contact your Europol National Unit. © Andrzej Mitura THE EUROPEAN INVESTIGATOR ▪ TARGETING CRIMINALS ACROSS BORDERS kg105222_EN_IE_BAT.indd 3 3/08/11 08:38 4 THE EUROPEAN INVESTIGATOR ▪ TARGETING CRIMINALS ACROSS BORDERS kg105222_EN_IE_BAT.indd 4 3/08/11 08:38 OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS From an Austrian investigator: ‘The fi rst report came into our unit at the Austrian ment data had been recorded in many cases, Federal Police in Innsbruck late one November making it possible for us all to tap into this infor- evening.

  • Forze Di Polizia, Forze Armate E Capitanerie Di Porto
    9 dicembre 2020 Censimento permanente delle Istituzioni Pubbliche: Forze di polizia, Forze armate e Capitanerie di porto. Anni 2015 e 2017 I censimenti permanenti della popolazione e delle unità economiche rappresentano un’importante innovazione nell’ambito della statistica ufficiale, fino al 2011 caratterizzata da censimenti generali a cadenza decennale. Quelli effettuati sulle unità economiche sono accomunati dalla medesima strategia e si basano su due elementi cardine: l’uso di un registro statistico, realizzato dall’Istat attraverso l’integrazione di diverse fonti amministrative e statistiche e aggiornato annualmente; una rilevazione diretta a forte valenza tematica, necessaria a completare, a cadenza periodica (per le istituzioni pubbliche biennale e dalla prossima edizione triennale; per imprese e istituzioni non profit triennale), il quadro informativo e consentire l’analisi in serie storica del profilo di istituzioni pubbliche, imprese e istituzioni non profit. La strategia censuaria prevede, a regime, che negli anni non coperti da rilevazione diretta il rilascio dei dati sia di fonte registro. Nel 2016, l’Istat ha avviato la prima edizione del Censimento permanente delle istituzioni pubbliche (data di riferimento 31/12/2015)1, basato sull’integrazione del Registro di base delle istituzioni pubbliche con le informazioni desunte dall’indagine statistica diretta. Da quest’ultima sono state escluse le scuole statali (oltre 40mila), vista la disponibilità di informazioni di fonte amministrativa. L’indagine diretta a supporto del Registro delle istituzioni pubbliche si basa su una parte di informazioni core, da acquisire con continuità, e su un set di informazioni di approfondimento da raccogliere a cadenza pluriennale. Rispetto al precedente Censimento generale a cadenza decennale, il Censimento permanente delle istituzioni pubbliche ha esteso la rilevazione2 a Forze di polizia, Forze armate e Capitanerie di porto, secondo specifiche modalità condivise in accordo con i Ministeri competenti.

  • Justice and Home Affairs Background
    February 2006 JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS BACKGROUND As stated in the 2005 Comprehensive Monitoring Report, “Romania has taken significant steps to address some of the issues within the political criteria which were highlighted in the 2004 report as requiring further improvements, such as the reform and independence of the judiciary. (…) The fight against corruption should receive high priority. Efforts should focus on the effective enforcement of anti-corruption legislation and on preventive measures, fighting high-level corruption and corruption within law enforcement bodies”. Justice system In March 2005 the new Government adopted an ambitious revised Strategy and Action Plan 2005-2007 to reform the justice system. These documents represent a significant step forward in the plans to create an independent, professional and effective justice system and now need to be internalised by the relevant actors. The Action Plan is being implemented according to schedule, with comprehensive monitoring mechanisms consisting of an inter-institutional commission co-ordinated by the Ministry of Justice and a series of working groups within the Superior Council of the Magistracy. The full and effective implementation of the Action Plan should continue without delay. The availability of financial and human resources and comprehensive training as well as accurate and standardised management statistics will largely determine the success of this operation. Following consultation with stakeholders a revision of the so-called three-law package on justice reform (Laws on the Superior Council of the Magistracy, on the Organisation of the Judiciary and on the Statute of Magistrates) was submitted by the Government to Parliament in June 2005 and adopted after a vote of confidence.

  • Storia Della Pubblica Sicurezza
    ALBERTO FRANCINI STORIA DELLA PUBBLICA SICUREZZA (DALLE ORIGINI ALLA POLIZIA DI PROSSIMITA’) 2018 CAP. I LA POLIZIA “Riflessioni preliminari” La Polizia non è istituzione moderna come vorrebbero Hume ed altri studiosi, ma è antichissima. Anzi si può dire che risale al tempo in cui cominciarono a nascere le prime consociazioni collettive prive di caratteristiche meramente tribali. Gli Ebrei ebbero leggi di polizia, ne fanno fede i libri di Mosè che ridondano di statuti tendenti a mantenere il buon ordine, procacciare la salute e la sicurezza dei cittadini, assistere i poveri e disciplinare l’ ospitalità (oggi diremo, regolare l’afflusso degli stranieri). Essi avevano funzionari di polizia nei dipartimenti e nei quattro quartieri in cui era divisa Gerusalemme. Trimegisto, segretario di Menete, realizzò, per gli Egizi, leggi di polizia, che, fra l’ altro, si occupavano dei freni al vagabondaggio. I Greci, poi avevano un’ alta concezione della polizia, tanto che i relativi poteri erano commessi ad un Arconte che prendeva il nome di Poliarca, il quale era il prefetto della città che badava al buon ordine e aveva a sua disposizione, come sorta di funzionari di polizia ante litteram, desimati e panopiscopi, con funzioni superiori e i corepiscopi che erano i funzionari competenti sui quartieri della città. In Sparta, questi funzionari prendevano, invece, il nome di nomofoluca. Napoli, che fu città greca e trasse da quelle tradizioni i suoi primi statuti, aveva Arconti e Demarchi (prefetti e questori?) che avevano la responsabilità della polizia sul cui operato, però, avevano voce in capitolo anche le Fratrie, consessi di persone competenti a discutere dell’ ordine e della sicurezza (comitati locali per l’ ordine e la sicurezza?).

The USSR has been constant in its disinclination to play with Maniu or associates itself with British planes until they are convinced that some concrete contribution at their war aim would results. They would however be ready to discuss unconditional surrender with the emissary of the Romanian government, capable of putting it into effect. The evolution of these SOE plans will be presented in this article. Keywords: SOE, NKVD, Romania, Antonescu, Maniu 1. Introduction V.

  • Polizia Di Stato Young People and Drugs: Police Officers and Doctors Exchange Views in Rome
    Polizia di Stato Young people and drugs: police officers and doctors exchange views in Rome "Drinking and drug use among young people: liaising first aid, psychological support and investigations". This is the central topic of the meeting which is being held today at the National Police Academy. This is the first session of the 5th Italian Great Network Congress - Focus on innovation and translational research in emergency medicine, which takes place on 15-17 October in Rome. It is centred on drug and alcohol addiction in young people, and represents an opportunity for international experts in emergency medicine, psychology, prevention and safety to exchange views with law enforcement officers. Chaired by Roberto Sgalla - Director of Traffic, Railway, Postal and Communications Police and the Police Special Units, the meeting will address the issue of drug and alcohol addiction among young people, comparing the Italian experience with the US and Dutch ones. The conference speakers will be Maria Carla Bocchino of the Central Operations Service (SCO), Giandomenico Protospataro of the Traffic Police, and Mauro Scenna of the Central Directorate for Anti-drug Services. The police experts, besides reporting the results of the activities conducted against drug trafficking, will talk about the recruitment of young people by criminal organizations, with a highlight on the prevention efforts to stop late-night weekend accidents. And more: the role of the psychological support that addresses, among other things, the problems associated with the new forms of psychiatric disorders deriving from drug abuse, and the double-faced phenomenon of the Internet hiding dangers and threats, but also offering opportunities and good practices.
