True security is built on the strength of our shared networks and the trust between countries. The International hashtag#PoliceCooperationDay is an opportunity recommit to working together to protect communities and uphold the rule of law.

Organized crime generates billions in illicit profits. 🇧🇷 My meeting with Andrei Augusto Passos Rodrigues, Director-General of the Brazilian Federal Police, was an opportunity to discuss how to further strengthen cooperation in targeting organized crime’s financial foundations.

It was a pleasure to welcome Italy’s Minister of Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, alongside Prefect Raffaele Grassi and the delegation, to INTERPOL headquarters to discuss further avenues for cooperation and Italy’s current security priorities.

This week's @interpol Heads of NCBs conference showed what global policing achieves when united with officers sharing experiences and lessons. Most importantly, we see concrete results from the face-to-face meetings. The relationships built will shape how we work together to keep communities safe.

For me @interpol.int’s Heads of National Central Bureaus conference is the most meaningful of the year. This week, our discussions will focus on some of the most pressing threats - global scam centres, the convergence of organized crime, and the growing role of AI in enabling criminal activity.

Such a pleasure to welcome Major General Bold Jamsranjav, Commissioner General of the National Police Agency of Mongolia to @interpol.int We discussed emerging crime threats and explored how INTERPOL's tools and services can strengthen Mongolia’s capacity to combat transnational crime.

The next two days of the #GlobalFraudSummit are a critical opportunity. The threat is real and is growing Looking forward to getting this important event under way with co-host UNODC Acting Executive Director John Brandolino, and the UK’s Fraud Minister, Lord Hanson.

Today @interpol.int staff gathered for a ceremony to honour police officers around the world who have given their lives in service. We carry forward their legacy through our daily work. #FallenOfficers

Pleased to welcome the WEF Head of Cybersecurity Akshay Joshi and his team to the @interpol General Secretariat headquarters. Public–private sector collaboration is essential in reinforcing law enforcement capabilities, and his visit will help identify areas for even closer cooperation.

Operation Thunder once again exposes the sophistication and scale of the criminal networks driving the illegal wildlife and forestry trade. We’re committed to strengthening global policing responses and protecting our planet’s shared natural and human heritage.

Bilateral meetings are where cooperation turns into action. It’s been a real pleasure meeting so many delegations, exchanging ideas and strengthening relationships for the future. Every member country has a voice, and I will listen to all of them.

Five Police Chiefs – Belgium, Botswana, Canada, Colombia, New Zealand - and two Secretaries General - @interpol.int and World Customs Organization - addressing one problem: transnational organized crime.

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women - and the start of #16Days of Activism - is an opportunity for us to unite and reaffirm our commitment to protection, accountability and justice.

It’s been one year since I was elected Secretary General of @interpol.int Today, at the General Assembly in Marrakech, I reaffirmed my commitment to making this organization diverse, transparent, neutral and ready for the future.

Just finished my press briefing to spotlight key General Assembly items; - tackling organized crime - rolling out custom-built support for member countries - unveiling our new strategic framework. All while bringing police leaders from around the world together under one roof to drive real change.

Delighted to be in Marrakech! The teams are putting the final touches in place for what promises to be a fantastic General Assembly. Looking forward to connecting with colleagues from around the world at the most important event in the @interpol.int - and international law enforcement – calendar.
