On December 2nd, EuroCOP had a very constructive virtual meeting with Member of the European Parliament, and S&D Coordinator of the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee, Birgit Sippel. EuroCOP’s President Calum Steele, Vice President Unn Alma Skatvold, and Head of Office Nigel Dennis were all present.
The focus of the meeting was the ongoing discussions around police brutality, and the need to re-examine a European police code of ethics. We also raised our concerns around Brexit, and what a no-deal situation means for operational policing.
