Secretariat and Infocel
The project is coordinated by a Secretariat staffed by the Dutch National Public Prosecutor’s Office. The Secretariat acts as the driver of the JT. In close cooperation with the JT partners, it identifies cooperation opportunities and reaches out to potential third partners. The Secretariat is responsible for the organisation of meetings, providing technical support, securing funding and organising capacity building activities. Furthermore, it takes the lead on the sustainable implementation of the cooperation (see also under Future of the Joint Team).
The JT is further supported by a small Infocel, staffed by experts from the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, Dutch National Police and Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service. It acts as “spider in the web” by providing assistance to and processing a wide range of requests from the JT partners, and works closely together with Europol to build a solid intelligence picture to serve the investigations, etc.
