The United Nations has designated 7 September as the International Day of Police Cooperation. This is being marked for the first time in 2023.
This day recognizes the essential work of the world’s law enforcement community in global security. It was designated in the United Nations General Assembly Resolution on the International Day of Police Cooperation adopted on 16 December 2022.
The resolution underlines ‘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.’
This first ‘day’ takes place on the day that INTERPOL celebrates its centenary - the then International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC), was created on 7 September 1923.
