Europol is an EU law enforcement agency whose mission is to support Member States in preventing and combating all forms of serious international and organized crime, cybercrime, and terrorism.
Europol's vision is to ensure an effective EU response to the threats of serious international and organized crime, cybercrime, and terrorism in the EU by acting as the primary information hub, providing flexible operational support, and offering European policing solutions in collaboration with our network of partners.
Europol's strategy serves as the reference framework for its daily operations and for supporting law enforcement cooperation in the EU.
Europol is designed to work in partnership with law enforcement agencies, government departments, and the private sector.
Europol's partnerships and external agreements take various forms, depending on the relationship the agency has with the respective country.
Its closest partners are the law enforcement authorities in the Member States of the European Union (EU), each of which has a designated Europol National Unit (ENU) that serves as a liaison between the authorities in the respective country and Europol.
Europol has unlimited access to eu-LISA.
