Background:
The European Confederation of Police (EuroCOP) is an organization made up of 33 trades unions from 26 European Countries, which exhibits more than 500,000 police officers. The EuroCOP was founded in a conference in 2002 in Roskilde, Denmark. Allowing them to emerge from the Union Internationale des Syndicats de Police (UISP), which has been around since 1953. The organization was created to allow ones from the United Kingdom to join. EruoCOP are members of the European Union Institutions, which allows the union to have a say in the council of Europe. The goal is to enhance the police work under democratic control, to prevent private investor of police duties, and to create norms for the police employees.

No. 83/2012 European Confederation of Police (EUROCOP) v. Ireland:
EuroCOP filled a complaint against Ireland on June 7, 2012; dealing with the fact that police representative associations in Ireland do not have full trade union rights including the right to join an umbrella organisation. An umbrella organization is is an association of institutions, who work together formally to coordinate activities or pool resources. The EuroCOP requested that Ireland grants complete full trade union rights for the police representations in Ireland. Meaning, that the police representative associations are kept out of the overall national negotiations that ICTU conduct on behalf of their members, such as those on salaries in the public service.

EuroCop mission:
EuroCOP has been fighting to try and get attention and promote four main groups.

~ Social plays a big role in the EuroCOP

~ Security for police also is important

~ Saftey for the Police

~ Network buildings play a big part with the police

They predict that by 2020, EuroCOP plains on working as a community to provide the right Saftey and support for the police. The rights that the police have will provide the right training for the police to actually do their jobs right.

EuroCOP has a missions to set of three strategies to guide our actions in the years to come.

~ Raising the European Police profile

~ Building a community in the EU that provides support for the police

~ allowing the police to have the best training for their job

Health and Saftey:
The EU has a certain health and Saftey policy for all of their workers. Here are the policies:


 * EuropCOP wants to talk about the health and Saftey of the police. They are working on changing the working conditions for the police, allowing them a work place that will reduce illnesses and injuries.
 * Changing working conditions for the police in the European Union is a big move. Making sure that the police have the same health and Saftey rights as any other citizen. Changing the rights for the police so that they have the same rights as everyone and so that everyone is treated equal.
 * EuroCOP is fighting more and more for the police to have better rights. Making sure the police have the appropriate working conditions and rights.
 * EU policy makers are fighting for police work and making sure the police are provided with the same health and Saftey rights.
 * Believing that injured police will get the same medical attention as the citizens in the community.

Social Rights:
In the past, police have had their rights slowly taken away. To provide officers benefits that support their rights and conditions that they have. Policy makers are trying to fix these problems that are occurring with the different conditions that all law employees have.
