INTERPOL is the world’s largest international police
organization, with 190 member countries.
Our role is to enable police around the world to work together
to make the world a safer place.
Our high-tech infrastructure of technical and operational
support helps meet the growing challenges of fighting crime in
the 21st century.
At INTERPOL, we aim to facilitate international police
cooperation even where diplomatic relations do not exist
between particular countries. Action is taken within the limits
of existing laws in different countries and in the spirit of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Our Constitution
prohibits ‘any intervention or activities of a political, military,
religious or racial character'.
The INTERPOL General Secretariat employs approximately 800
staff members from 100 different countries. Staff are based at
the main Secretariat building in Lyon, France, the Global
Complex for Innovation in Singapore, or in one of our regional
offices.
Approximately one-third of these staff are seconded or
detached by their national law enforcement administrations in
INTERPOL’s 190 member countries; the others are international
civil servants hired under contract directly by the Organization.
INTERPOL accepts applications from nationals of all its member
countries to ensure that the organization remains truly
representative. Staff work in the organization’s four official
languages: Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
INTERPOL’s staff values are respect, integrity, excellence,
teamwork and innovation. The actions of international officials
should be guided by these values which they should reflect in
their work and daily activities through their actions and
behaviour.
