Security

The Security Working Group helps to further raise the current level of postal security to deter the occurrence of criminal activities, prevent the abuse of the sector for criminal purposes; to disrupt criminal activities, and support the detection and appropriate action against those who commit crime against the postal sector. In order to effectively deploy or apply pragmatic intervention against existing and future abuse, insight into threats, criminal activities, and methods as well as structures are required. This in-depth insight must then lead to the efficient use of people and resources for more effective action perspectives and corrective & preventative activities.
