President David Rausch led the IACP delegation to the European Police Chiefs Convention (EPCC) in The Hague.

Along with First VP Chief Will Johnson and Global Director Vince Hawkes, President Rausch continued to expand the IACP's engagement with policing leaders at this event at Europol Headquarters (@europol.eu).

With the support of EUROPOL's Chief of Staff and IACP's World Regional Office Chair, Sebastien Moras, the delegation received a comprehensive briefing on the structure, expertise and innovation capabilities within Europol.
