During Identity Week Europe 2026, the FRONTLINERS team had the opportunity to connect with Frontex and discuss the relevance of operational cooperation in the field of border security, identity verification and travel document fraud.

For FRONTLINERS, the role of European-level expertise is essential. The challenges faced by frontline officers are increasingly complex: forged and fraudulently obtained documents, identity misuse, cross-border mobility, stolen vehicles and evolving criminal methods.

These realities require permanent dialogue between practitioners, institutions and specialised partners.

FRONTLINERS 2026 is designed precisely around this need: to create a practical and international platform where operational knowledge can be exchanged, tested and translated into stronger frontline capacity.

We value this type of dialogue and look forward to continuing to connect FRONTLINERS with relevant European and international actors.
