Belgium's Catherine De Bolle pledged to invest more in Europol's capacity to analyse security threats when she was named Thursday as the first woman to head the EU police agency. De Bolle, commissioner general of the Belgian federal police, will assume her duties as Europol's executive director on May 1 when Briton Rob Wainright steps down, an EU statement said. "Europol has to invest even more in the analytical capacity," De Bolle said in a video run on an EU Twitter feed. "We have to put the resources and the knowledge together to have a strategic view on the future on what are threats to the security of the European citizens," she added.
Her job announced on International Women's Day, De Bolle hailed her gender's advances in the workplace but said many women still chose family over careers.
