Border safety is no small feat. Nearly 800 million people cross the external borders of the EU and Schengen-associated countries every year. Tools like the vulnerability assessment help us identify risks early to protect the free movement that lies at the heart of the Schengen Area 🇪🇺

No plates on your vehicle? Don't make it worse for yourself! 🚗 A Tesla at the border: Greek plates, Spanish car, no registration. The plates were removed in Thessaloniki for illegal parking, so the owner took someone else's. With a court date set, the parking fine is the least of his worries

🍂 Autumn has arrived in the Evros region. The leaves are changing colour, the rivers are rising, and our patrols keep crossing them anyway. Rain, mud or fog don't matter. The border is secure every season.

The secret behind thousands of sea rescues isn't on the water. It's above it. 🌊 Planes and drones scan far faster than any boat. Thermal cameras find people in the dark. Then the exact coordinates go to the rescue crews. 11,000+ rescued in 2025. 6,600 more in 2026. #Frontex #SearchAndRescue

No runway. No catapult. These drones take off and land vertically from the deck of a moving ship, then fly missions up to 150 km out, day and night. In a Frontex pilot project with the Italian Coast Guard they became part of the vessel itself. Take a closer look 🎬

💰 Busted with cash! Do you know why it is illegal to move more than EUR 10,000 across an EU border without declaring it? Cash remains a preferred tool for criminal networks because it is anonymous, easy to carry, and can be used to fund activities such as drug trafficking.
