An introduction to FIELDS (22/03/2022)
Frontex INTERPOL Electronic Library Document System (FIELDS) is an INTERPOL-Frontex project launched in 2017 enabling a systematic and structured transfer of knowledge and know-how from document specialists/experts to non-document experts working at the law enforcement frontlines. It will be operational as of April 2022.
FIELDS will allow the integration of Quick Check Cards (QCC) into national border management systems. The integration will be first implemented in France. A QCC is a decision-aid instrument for frontline officers made primarily by images of documents (the most important security features) enabling a quick and secure check of the documents.
INTERPOL and Frontex plan to gradually expand the system globally in cooperation with partner countries. In this session, Fabrizio di Carlo (INTERPOL) and Claudio Kavrecic (Frontex) illustrate the features of the system and its benefits for frontline officers.
