Preface
Dear readers,
I am very pleased to present to you the Federal Police’s annual report 2014.
The guiding thread throughout this year 2014 was indisputably the optimisation of the Federal Police, with the aim of better fulfi l-ling their missions while rationalising costs. This is a considerable undertaking, involving all decision-making levels and, in one way or another, all the staff. As a result of the creation of the new judicial districts, the new representatives of the decentralised level (i.e. the coordinating directors and judicial directors) are now in charge of larger territories and better cooperate with each other. They are the necessary link between the Local Police and the central services of the Federal Police. In addition, some central directorates have merged and new ones have been created. As a consequence, the number of representatives has declined.
These changes can be seen throughout the present report, which is now presented in a more modern and dynamic form, with more accessible and clearer essential information. You will fi nd, on the one hand, key fi gures in this brochure and, on the other hand, all the events that marked the past year on the calendar available on the website www.annualreport.federalpolice.be, as well as a video presentation on the Federal Police optimisation.
Once again, I would like to thank you all for the excellent cooperation, the work done, your commitment and professionalism. Thanks to all of you, the Federal Police can serve citizens in a professional way and make our society safer.
I wish you all pleasant reading.
Catherine De BolleGeneral Commissioner

This type of conclusion is only communicated if two experts agree on this independently of one another.

Chapter 6#2014
Insecurity takes many forms and does not stop at our country’s borders. To undertake
their actions, the Federal Police follow a border-crossing approach in cooperation
with their many international partners.
Federal Police goes international
The BENELUX police services can now appeal to 46
Belgian and Dutch liaison officers in order to facilitate the
handling of their files concerning international police cooperation with
116 accredited countries.
At least 48 stolen vehicles were intercepted
as a result of the new information exchange set up between Belgium and the
Netherlands as part of the ANPR project (Automatic Number Plate Recognition)
on 1 February.
1 treaty was signed with Morocco and 7 agreements were concluded with Colombia,
Bulgaria, Luxemburg and the Netherlands, Morocco, Moldova and Romania in order to
reinforce bilateral police cooperation with the Belgian police services.
