At Europol, we are devoted to making Europe a safer place for all its citizens.

Europe faces increasingly challenging organised crime and terrorist threats. The Paris attacks in January 2015 were stark illustrations of the terrorist threat and of related factors, such as violent extremist propaganda on the Internet and arms trafficking. Reflecting broader trends of globalisation, today’s threats recognise no national boundaries and often reach out into cyberspace as well.

These threats require an effective and timely law enforcement response. Europol provides a crucial element of that response whenever cross-border cooperation is needed. The unprecedented number of operations supported by Europol delivers a clear message: the international law enforcement community is determined to bring down organised criminal groups and protect the safety and wellbeing of our society.

More than 1000 highly-skilled professionals from all 28 EU Member States work at Europol. Our work covers many areas, and offers opportunities for law enforcement specialists and others in governance, finance, human resources, and information and communications technology.

Working for an organisation with a mission such as Europol’s is both challenging and rewarding — that can make you a real agent for change. If you are looking for a fulfilling career in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, join us to make Europe safer.
