Balancing Protection
and Law Enforcement

Security and law enforcement must be in harmony despite social polarisation and hybrid threats. The police face new challenges: securing public spaces, cross-border organised crime, cybercrime, AI-supported disinformation and everyday law enforcement – often under dynamic crisis conditions and technological developments.

Radicalisation, social tensions and a loss of trust in institutions shape the work of the police both strategically and operationally. Political commitment and tactical empowerment are crucial to their ability to act.

A focus of the 2026 congress: security in public spaces – from train stations and schools to large events. Prevention and repression go hand in hand: video surveillance, digital early warning systems, community policing, structural measures and international cooperation.

European asylum policy also faces the task of combining security and humanity. In view of migration and geopolitical tensions, a common strategy is needed that preserves solidarity and the rule of law.
Critical infrastructures are increasingly becoming the target of cyber and drone attacks. A holistic understanding of security is necessary to make state structures resilient and secure trust.

The European Police Congress offers an opportunity to think beyond borders and work together to shape the police force of the future – with courage, responsibility and a clear focus on security and trust.
