Some authorized officials of the Belgian Immigration Office, who received a special training and have a security clearance, have been granted direct access to certain parts of the central database of the Belgian police (ANG-database)..

They still need to contact the police or the prosecutors’ office to make use of the information for decision making. This direct access makes it easier for the Belgian Immigration Office to determine whether or not a foreign national might be a threat to public order or public security.
