FIGHTING DRUG SMUGGLERS MORE EFFICIENTLY: COUNCIL OF EUROPE WORKS WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO PRODUCE NEW ONLINE TOOL FOR DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

On 6th June, the Council of Europe reported that a handbook designed to help drug enforcement officials to increase the number of arrests of drug smugglers has been launched in Strasbourg.  It was created with assistance from Eurojust, Europol, Interpol, OSCE (Organisation for Security and cooperation in Europe) and SELEC (South East European Law enforcement Center) and with information from participating states.  The new online guidebook is designed for law enforcement and the judiciary to make controlled deliveries of illicit drugs more efficient. The handbook is expected to enhance co-operation across borders, and improve the international co-ordination that is required to effectively carry out controlled delivery operations.  Because of security reasons, the online tool cannot be accessed by media or the public.
