Europol

From its headquarters in The Hague, Europol assists the 28 EU Member States in their fight against serious international crime and terrorism. We also work together with many non-EU partner countries and international organizations.

Large-scale criminal and terrorist networks pose a major threat to the internal security of the EU and to the security and livelihood of its citizens. The biggest security threats come from:

  • terrorism;
  • international drug trafficking and money laundering practices;
  • organized fraud;
  • counterfeiting of the euro;
  • human trafficking.

But there are also new, growing dangers, such as cyber crime and human trafficking. The crime networks in each of these areas are alert to new opportunities and know how to stand by traditional law enforcement measures.

Security

Most organisations have strict security. Because of this, we have added a list of the DO’s and DON’Ts for you. As a visitor, you’ll be required to follow these. You will receive your security passes a week beforehand via e-mail. We ask you to please bring it with you. The security of the organisations can ask you to show your passes. Although the chance is there that registration will be enough and you will not be asked to show your pass. At all times you are required to bring a legal personal ID, like a passport of a ID-Card. Bus-, library, etc. cards are not valid identification. Security checks take time, so please keep this in mind when visiting. We ask for your patience for any eventual waiting times.

Do’s

  • Bring a valid ID like a passport or ID card
  • Bring a your admission ticket (print or online version)
  • Keep in mind that security checks can take some time.
  • Listen and comply with security.

Don’ts

  • Do not bring large bags.
  • Do not bring prams unless absolutely necessary.
  • Do not bring electronic devices.
  • Photos and video recordings aren’t always permitted.
