Internal Criminal Investigations Network (ICIN)
ICIN connects organisations that are responsible for criminal investigations regarding an employee within a police organisation. ICIN has its mandate within Europol and the network has currently 26 member organisations.
ICIN is important in order to fight corruption within police organisations
The primary purpose of the network is to share methods for how to detect and investigate corruption within police organisations. ICIN also aims to enhance the public’s confidence to the member organisations, the police organisations and to Europol. ICIN is ultimately a crime preventing tool that can help Europol succeed in its operational investigations and cooperation between the members without interference from insiders.
ICIN was established in March 2020. The ICIN Executive Committee consists of Sweden, the Netherlands and Lithuania. Mr. Martin Valfridsson (SWE) is the Chairperson. The secretariat rotates every second year.
