06/2025/ONS: Behaviour analysis in the context of migrant smuggling

This onsite activity aims to:

• enhance law enforcement competencies in relation to behaviour analysis in migrant smuggling investigations and other checks inside the territory of EU/Schengen countries.
• correlate evidence to make fair, non-discriminatory decisions in relation to migrant smuggling investigation and the right of entry and stay.

EMPACT training activity

Combating new forms of organised crime requires more cooperation between police and gendarmes, customs officers, border guards, judges, and prosecutors. EU institutions, agencies and Member States work together to tackle organised and serious international crime through a permanent and key instrument: the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT).

CEPOL plays a crucial role in the EMPACT mechanism through the provision of specialised training and the identification of training needs within each common security threat. Every year, CEPOL provides a comprehensive training package for each common EU crime priority consisting of onsite, online and exchange training activities.
