Core Group
The Core Group is formed from 11 representative states across the EU and led by Patrick Padding of the National Police of the Netherlands. The group works collectively to review the strategic direction of ENLETS and how to best use the direct grant funding from the EU. The Core Group helps establish the focus areas and priorities of the network. Through regular meetings and online interactions, the assembly helps share the latest information connected to relevant activities in their home force(s). Moreover, the group is responsible for agreeing on the working areas of the Technology Interest Groups (TIGs) and signing off on the TIGs' objectives and actions. Furthermore, the Core Group helps stimulate research by sparking interest in ongoing initiatives and triggering new concepts by sharing priorities and national needs that require attention from consortia across the EU.
National Contact Points
A National Contact Point represents each member state of the ENLETS community; providing a conduit to national actions and activities relevant to ENLETS. The NCPs meet every two months to discuss pertinent topics linked with ENLETS and ongoing EU initiatives. The NCPs are responsible for funnelling work through national channels. This work includes disseminating results, distributing surveys and questionnaires, also from associated networks and EU actions. Likewise, the NCPs will raise national priorities ENLETS can support. The NCPs have a unique knowledge of various EU actions, providing a valuable interface in their associated national countries. Moreover, as they have contact with multiple divisions and departments, they help speed up the transfer of knowledge and best practices on the Pan-European level.

Internet Investigations
The internet plays a crucial part in most modern crimes. Gathering Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and connecting the dots from various data sources is critical in supporting investigations. The Internet Investigation group collaborates to share best practices, ideas and insights from many experienced practitioners from around the EU. The Internet Investigations TIG is headed by a forerunner group that have helped chair, Natalie van de Waarsenburg, set this year's priorities. Currently, the group is focused on several pivotal topics that contribute to many policing and law enforcement areas but are hugely important to Internet Investigations. These include AI and Policing, deepfakes and synthetic media. To complement understanding and knowledge, the group is interested in the tools available to support LEAs. Moreover, as well as the technological aspects, the group, focuses on training courses available across the EU - hoping to share overviews and feedback through the community.
