The EuroCOP Mission Statement describes the organisations general tasks. It was decided by Congress in Lucerne 2003. Those include: - Representation of police officers' interests in Europe
- Political influence in Europe
- Commitment to Equality
- Subsidiarity, meaning that matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority. For EuroCOP this means:
- In the matter of an issue dealt with a European counterpart and the action provides added value
- If the matter is of national interest (such as pay, pension) EuroCOP should only take action if a European institution or European Union constitutional body initiates the matter or if the EuroCOP Committee decides to do so.
- Transparency meaning that EuroCOP is an open organisation and forum for communication on police related issues, in the public and within politics.
