Dear Leaders in European Law Enforcement,

Your role is crucial for our democracies. Security is the foundation of a well-functioning society. As shown by the Eurobarometer, there is a strong link between the feeling of safety and high voter turnout.

Thanks to the daily efforts of Europes law enforcement agencies, trust in the EU and Europol is higher than ever. But we must not stand still. This is a Zeitenwende. The nature of crime is changing rapidly, and we must adapt.

Technology is a major driver of this change. Criminal networks are becoming more sophisticated. We must think ahead about how global changes will impact the security situation in the EU.

Our new security policy in Brussels addresses these challenges. The European Commission considers security a top priority. We want your input to shape our strategy further.

With ProtectEU, we aim for more resources for Europol and Frontex and better cooperation with third countries. Your insights are essential for the success of this policy.

Lets work together to protect our citizens, democracies, and the EU. Thank you.
