Policing Euro 2000
International police co-operation, information management and police deployment
 
The European football championships 2000 held in Belgium and the Netherlands were characterised by an unprecedented level of international police co-operation. A year before the start of the tournament, the project Police Expertise Euro 2000 was set up to record experiences gained and lessons learnt. The project focused on preparations, the international police co-operation effort, information management, the co-operation between police and stewards and police deployment and demeanor.
This book is the well written and highly accessible result of this innovative attempt to give police forces and police authorities involved in the organisation of large-scaled international events with public order implications acces to valuable experiences.
