Police Cooperation

The aim of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters is to ensure a high level of safety for individuals in the EU by preventing and combating crime.

The cooperation takes place between national police forces and national judicial authorities with the help of EU agencies such as Eurojust, Europol and the European Judicial Network where needed. This cooperation involves the collection and exchange of information on people.

We have a bumper newsletter this time around, full of all sorts of goings-on in the world of data protection and the EDPS.

The start to 2026 has been very busy indeed.

The Supervisor has penned blogposts on EDPS audits, the AI Act Correspondents Network, and the future of regulatory cooperation.
