POLIIICE

Twenty-two organizations from 14 different countries joined forces for a new Research and Innovation EU project which aims to advance European LEAs to a novel lawful-interception (LI), investigation and intelligence era in which they will be able to effectively prevent, detect and investigate crime and terrorism amid the new age of communication (5G&Beyond, application level End to End Encryption and Quantum based cryptography) while providing the legal framework and guidelines to strictly comply with privacy preserving and ethics rules of operation.

In addition, POLIIICE will propose standardization and regulations improvements that will support the LI in the age of communication and will provide a novel method to improve the information exchange and cooperation between European LEAs.

POLIIICE project kicked-off in October 2022 in a two-day meeting (19-20 Oct.) on the premises of the University of Applied Sciences for Public Service in Bavaria- Department of Policing (HfoeD) in Fürstenfeldbruck, Munich, covering a comprehensive agenda and coming to a clear action plan for the upcoming months. At this meeting, more than 30 attendees who represented all the partners had the opportunity to set up the preliminary communications and rules that will facilitate the project implementation.

The Project Officer enthusiastically welcomed this attempt while highlighting the significance of any potential security, ethical, and legal difficulties. He also mentioned just few issues, primary among them the sustainability of the project’s solution.

POLIIICE is being coordinated by HfoeD and will last for 36 months.

POLIIICE is funded by the European Commission with a total amount of about 5 Million Euro.
