Description: 

This joint CEPOL-EJTN training will bring together prosecutors and senior police officers from different EU Member States, Western Balkan countries and Turkey, with the aim of promoting  the use of Joint Investigation Teams (JITs) for cases on facilitation of illegal immigration and foster greater cooperation between EU agencies and national judicial and law enforcement officials within the EU, as well as between these and Western Balkan and Turkish authorities involved in combatting illegal immigration networks.

The learning outcomes of this training include, among others, the ability to:

  1. Identify the trends in migrant smuggling in South Eastern Europe and analyse the impact of measures taken by the EU;
  2. Apply appropriate tools for gathering and exchange of information and intelligence with partners inside and outside the EU;
  3. Take appropriate action using EU and international judicial and police support tools and services, in particular, via Europol, Frontex, and Eurojust;
