GeezerVison is showing en.wikipedia.org — ATLAS Network - Wikipedia This article is about the police association. For the US-based foundation that supports think tanks, see Atlas Network. For other networks, see Atlas (disambiguation).
The ATLAS network is an association of law enforcement special intervention units from the 27 Member States of the European Union and associated countries. It was established following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, on the initiative of the European Police Chiefs Task Force (EPCTF).[1][2] HistoryATLAS was initially informally established for information exchange and training activities co-operation between units. It was later formalised by a decision of the Council of the European Union in 2008, which also expanded ATLAS's functions to include the provision of assistance upon request to another Member State.[1][2][3] In 2018, an ATLAS Support Office was established within Europol's European Counter Terrorism Centre (ECTC) in The Hague, Netherlands, thereby strengthening the role of the ATLAS Network within European law enforcement organisations.[4] TermsATLAS uses the terms 'special intervention unit' and 'crisis situation' defined as follows:
OrganizationATLAS recognises that a Member State may not have the means, resources, or expertise to handle all crisis situations, particularly large crises. It provides a framework for a Member State to request assistance from another Member State.[1] MembersATLAS consists of 38 special intervention units, including units from non-EU Member States such as Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and the United Kingdom.[5][6] The non-EU Member States can participate and use of all facilities, but they do not have voting rights.[7]
