ENLETS is a Council-endorsed practitioner network that connects law enforcement practitioners with policymakers, researchers, and innovation actors across Europe.
We are not an operational body, but we play a vital role in shaping capability development, encouraging innovation, and ensuring that technological solutions genuinely meet the needs of policing and internal security.
By linking policy → research → practice, we help Europe’s security community work more coherently, efficiently, and strategically.
ENLETS works across Europe’s internal security ecosystem, engaging with strategic bodies, operational agencies, practitioner networks, and competence centres. These partnerships ensure that innovation, capability development and interoperability evolve in line with real practitioner needs.
These institutions provide political guidance, define priorities and anchor ENLETS within the EU’s internal security framework.
ENLETS maintains strong links with Europe’s operational practitioner communities. One clear example of this engagement is its membership of the Law Enforcement Networks Working Group (LENWG). This enables the exchange of expertise between frontline and tactical practitioners across different domains.
These organisations build the skills and digital capabilities of Europe’s law enforcement community. ENLETS cooperates with them to align capability development with training needs and support knowledge exchange across Member States.
ENLETS cooperates with Europe’s research community to ensure that innovation is guided by real practitioner needs. This way, we help shape practitioner-driven agendas and strengthen the impact of security R&I.
We collect and prioritise capability needs from policing and security practitioners, ensuring they reach policymakers, research coordinators, and funding bodies.
We bring practitioners together with researchers and technology developers to explore emerging solutions, test ideas, and support early-stage capability development.
Through our capability groups and thematic work, ENLETS promotes harmonised approaches that help Member States work together more effectively.
While we do not conduct operations, ENLETS contributes to tests, scenario-based validation and demonstrations that help evaluate new technologies in realistic contexts.
We welcome cooperation from practitioner communities, EU agencies, research bodies, and relevant public-sector organisations.
