Efus publishes its 2025 Security, Democracy and Cities manifesto

The European Forum for Urban Security’s (Efus) Security, Democracy and Cities manifesto is the reference document for all the stakeholders and institutions that collaborate with or are interested in Efus. It expresses the principles on which Efus bases its work and includes extensive practical recommendations for European local and regional authorities and urban security stakeholders. These recommendations are illustrated by real life case studies. 

The social and political background in which Efus member local and regional authorities are working evolves with time; criminal activity and responses to crime also evolve, in particular, but not only, with the increasingly widespread use of new technologies. On the other hand, citizens’ expectations change with time, as does national and European legislation. All these factors shape the urban security landscape and hence Efus’ work.  

This is why it is important that Efus periodically revises and updates its manifesto according to the members’ priorities and needs. Our new 2025 manifesto is now available.
