Romanian police professionalism in fighting illegal migration was praised by participants in the European Police Chiefs Convention (EPCC), at Europol headquarters in the Hague, September 14-15.
"The Romanian Police delegation held several bilateral meetings with Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian and Belgian partners. (...) One reason the colleagues in partner states appreciated the Romanian police was their exchange of information through police channels, with many of the officials stating that Romania is already seen as a Schengen Area member state. The Romanian police professionalism was also praised when it came to fighting illegal migration, where Romanian efforts have contributed toward ensuring security for the entire European area," says a press statement released by the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police (IGPR).
The meetings also approached developing common strategies to fight cross-border crime, cybercrime and itinerant criminal groups.
"Partners in the Netherlands and Norway thanked Romanian Police for their support in fighting itinerant crime, emphasizing that, because of their information exchange and common operations, the number of individuals involved in this type of crimes has dropped significantly in recent years," the IGPR statement reads.
Romania was represented at the European Police Chiefs Convention by head of the Romanian Police Bogdan Despescu. In his address, he stressed that the Romanian Police stand by all other European and international law enforcement agencies in preventing and fighting cybercrime.
Over 450 high-ranking officials of law enforcement agencies and experts from European, Asian as well as American countries and Australia attended the event in the Hague, which focused on international cooperation, security implication of migration crisis, terrorism, cybercrime and the impact of digitalization, according to Agerpres.
