A delegation from Europol is currently in Cyprus as part of the 'Cyprus Police 2030' modernization program and an initiative by the Chief of Police, Themistos Arnautis. The visit aims to strengthen the operational capabilities of the Cyprus Police, focusing on intelligence-led policing and combating serious and organized crime. Europol will provide expertise and guidance for the design and implementation of modern analytical and operational practices, also supporting the creation of the new Organized Crime Unit (DAOE). Chief of Police Themistos Arnautis met with the Secretary of the Europol Management Board, Borja Barbosa De Miquel, to exchange views and coordinate actions ahead of the upcoming Europol Management Board meeting in Cyprus. Senior officials from the Cyprus Police also participated in the meeting, including the Assistant Chief of Administration and Training, the Director of the Chief's Office, the Deputy Director of the European Union and International Police Cooperation Directorate, the Europol National Unit Coordinator, the Coordinator of the Task Force Coordination Office, and the Chairman of the Europol Management Board Working Group for Corporate Matters. The visit of the Europol delegation and the cooperation with the Cyprus Police are an important step towards enhancing security and more effectively tackling crime in Cyprus, especially during the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
