The European Network of Fugitive Active Search Teams (ENFAST) is a network of fugitive search teams from member states of the European Union. ENFAST was established in 2013, and is supported by Europol.

History

In 2010, an initiative to create a European network of fugitive teams was proposed at a conference attended by 24 teams from the European Union. The initiative aimed to enable more efficient collaboration among EU police units responsible for fugitive active search (FAST). On 1 January 2013, the European Council adopted the initiative and created the European Network of Fugitive Active Search Teams (ENFAST). The network is governed by one of its member teams for two-year presidential terms. Some non-EU member states hold non-voting observer status with ENFAST to enable cooperation among outside countries where fugitives may be hiding.

Europe's most wanted

In January 2016, ENFAST launched the EU Most Wanted website to list internationally wanted fugitives and invite tips. Fugitives listed on the website are subjects of European Arrest Warrants.
