Tell us about the role of your company in this project. 

The Galați County Police Inspectorate, as part of the Romanian Police, is an operational end-user partner in the TRACY project. Our main role is to ensure that the tools developed by TRACY are relevant, practical, and effective for law enforcement agencies across Europe. We bring first-hand experience in combating organised crime and terrorism, helping the TRACY consortium align technological innovations with real operational challenges.

Can you give an update about the latest developments? 

Our team has been closely involved in reviewing TRACY’s functionalities, providing feedback on the platform’s usability and potential for deployment in day-to-day investigations. We’ve also participated in discussions around legal and procedural considerations, ensuring that the system aligns with national and EU regulations on data protection and the handling of non-content telecom data.

What are your company’s next steps in the project, in relation to the pilot site? 

In the coming months, we will continue to act as a validation partner, testing TRACY’s capabilities in simulated case scenarios and sharing insights with the consortium. Our focus will be on identifying practical ways to integrate the TRACY platform into law enforcement workflows, ensuring that the system can support effective and lawful investigations in Romania and beyond.
