INTERPOL has welcomed the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adoption of an International Day of Police Cooperation in recognition of the central role played by the world’s law enforcement community in global security.
The resolution emphasizes ‘the need to strengthen international cooperation at the global, regional and sub regional levels in various areas related to preventing and combating transnational crime, in particular transnational organized crime, and preventing and countering terrorism.’
The annual observance day has been set for 7 September, the date when INTERPOL’s predecessor the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC), was created in 1923.
