INTERPOL’s main achievements in 2008 included its second worldwide public appeal to help identify a paedophile, record numbers of entries and searches on its global databases, expanded membership, as well as assistance provided to member countries. The Organization’s General Assembly in Russia saw the election of a new President, Singapore’s Police Commissioner KHOO Boon Hui and also the adoption of its Global Security Initiative (GSI) as a major part of the organization’s seminal, strategic blueprint for international law enforcement in the 21st century – a billion-Euro challenge requiring a billion-Euro fund.
OASIS Africa, a Germany-funded police infrastructure support project launched this year, is allowing INTERPOL to take an innovative approach towards police challenges in the region, paving the way for future development by empowering national police and enhancing capacity and infrastructure. This integrated strategy will serve as a model for other world regions.
INTERPOL is the world’s largest international police organization, with 187 member countries. It exists to help create a safer world by supporting law enforcement agencies worldwide to combat crime.
