Activity03/2026/ONS: Most threatening criminal networks and individuals - crime prevention by a community of practitioners
The aim of this onsite activity is to scale up the tackling and dismantling of organised crime networks, by targeting those that pose the highest risk to Europe’s security, with a particular focus on mafia-type, ethnic and clan-based criminal organisations as well as on emerging threats.

Combatting 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.
