European Forum for Urban Safety (EFUS)
European Forum for Urban Safety (EFUS) is a European network of 300 local authorities established in 1987 in Barcelona, on the initiative of Gilbert Bonnemaison, former Mayor of Epinay-sur-Seine, and supported by the Council of Europe. Our network aims to strengthen crime reduction policies and to promote the role of local authorities in national and European policies.
We work on all major issues in urban safety and security and we build up links between European local authorities through practices, information exchanges, cooperation and training. We also build up links between local authorities and the national, European and international levels.
We promote the role of local authorities through making the most of the results of our programmes, projects and research.
