At Europol, we take our responsibility as the EU Agency for law enforcement seriously; the fundamental role of policing in democratic societies has always been to keep the public safe.
To achieve this, we need to strike a balance between harnessing technical innovation for social good, such as protecting privacy rights, while preventing it from being abused for criminal purposes.
Recent trends have highlighted how technological developments have the power to undermine trust in institutions, so what’s at stake here is nothing less than the coherence of our society.
Currently, there are several digital challenges for the EU, and as stated in its strategy Europol strives to be at the forefront of law enforcement innovation and research.
With our innovation lab, we keep abreast of developments in the digital world. We identify, promote and develop concrete innovative solutions supporting the EU Member States’ operational law enforcement work.
On this page, you will find a selection of our reports that, we believe, are pivotal in anticipating technological innovations and mitigating any resulting hazards. These reports shall inform Europol's stakeholders on how to keep up with the rapid pace of progress and the resulting modifications in the security landscape.
