Video episode: Operation Shamrock

Recently, our Emergency Response Unit (ERU) and other national units took part in Europol's 'Allies 2026', a training exercise designed to enhance cross-border cooperation and interoperability among European law enforcement authorities. The exercise simulated scenarios unfolding across 12 European countries in parallel, testing participants’ ability to effectively fight drug trafficking and hybrid threats. We played a major role in the ‘Operation Shamrock’ scenario, which involved working with European partners to track and monitor and apprehend the movements of individuals acting as International drugs smugglers.
