Europol

Europol is the EU's law enforcement agency, originally founded by the Europol Convention of 1995 but now governed by the Europol Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/794). Europol facilitates the exchange of intelligence in order to prevent terrorism, drug trafficking and other serious international criminal activities. The Europol website describes the work of the agency and provides Europol publications, including the EU Terrorism Situation & Trend Report, the Serious and Organised Crime Threat Assessment and the Internet and Organised Crime Threat Assessment.
