Information and Consultation Subcommittee proposes standard paper
On its first meeting, taking place on July 1st at EuroCOP’s offices in Luxembourg,
the newly formed EuroCOP Subcommittee for Information, Consultation and Participation started its work right away by drafting a proposal on a basic standard paper for police officers.
The idea of creating this standard paper is to create a document that can be accepted and used by all member organisations, the Chair of the subcommittee, Frank Richter explained.
"Our goal is to find a basis and define minimum rights for all police officers."
