Robert Mark Wainwright (born 1967) is a British civil servant and the current director of Europol. == Education & Career == Wainwright studied at the London School of Economics, graduating with a BSc in 1989. Following that he joined the Security Service (MI5) where he worked for the next 10 years as an intelligence analyst specialising in organised crime and counter-terrorism. From 2000 to 2003, Wainwright was the UK Management Board member at Europol and a UK Liaison Officer. At the same time, he was Head of the British Europol National Unit in London. In 2003 he was appointed Director of International Affairs of the UK’s National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS), where he was responsible for international operations and for the development and implementation of a British strategy against illegal immigration. From 2006 Wainwright held the post of head of the international department of the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA). There, he was indirectly responsible for all serious crime police investigations (about 20,000 a year) and has introduced both an international strategy and new investigative capacities. In April 2009, Wainwright was appointed Director of Europol, the European Police Office, being the first Director without a police background or belonging to a national police force. He leads a staff of over 800 personnel who support law enforcement authorities in the 28 EU Member States to tackle international organised crime and terrorism. The agency handles over 18 000 cross–border cases per year in operational areas such as drugs, trafficking in human beings, facilitated illegal immigration, cybercrime, intellectual property crime, cigarette smuggling, Euro counterfeiting, VAT fraud, money laundering and asset tracing, mobile organised crime groups, outlaw motorcycle gangs, and terrorism. Wainwright witnessed the reform of Europol’s legal framework as it became a formal EU agency on 1 January 2010. Through this process Europol acquired a stronger mandate and new capabilities to fight organised crime and terrorism. Europol’s accountability arrangements were strengthened, with a bigger role established for the European Parliament to scrutinise the agency’s activities and to set its annual budget, and Europol’s data protection regime was further improved. On 1 July 2011, Wainwright hosted HM Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands as she officially opened Europol’s new purpose-built headquarters in The Hague. At the same time, he also launched the first ever European Police Chiefs Convention, which has now become an annual forum for developing effective international police cooperation. In March 2012, the Council of Justice and Home Affairs extended Wainwright’s term of office as Director of Europol until 2017. On 21 January 2013, Rob Wainwright opened the new European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), at Europol’s headquarters in The Hague. EC3 serves as a European information hub on cybercrime, developing and deploying digital forensic capabilities to support investigations in the EU, building capacity to combat cybercrime through training and awareness raising, as well as delivering best practice on cybercrime investigations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rob Wainwright (civil servant)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
