Meeting virtually at INTERPOL’s 16th annual conference for NCBs (6 – 8 July), some 300 senior police officials from 167 countries reviewed major initiatives ranging from operational and investigative support to expanding INTERPOL’s I-24/7 secure communications network to the national police and border control agencies.
These senior police officials have endorsed measures to boost the role of National Central Bureaus (NCBs) as a gateway between INTERPOL and frontline police. “In spite of the pandemic, the number of records entrusted to INTERPOL by NCBs over the past year has increased by 10 percent to reach a record 115 million, demonstrating their role at the heart of our global early warning system,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Jürgen Stock.
