GLASGOW, Scotland – Director of Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Mohamed Amin, leads the Kenyan delegation at the 92nd Interpol General Assembly, running from November 4-7, 2024, in Glasgow.
The annual conference brings together law enforcement leaders from Interpol’s 196 member countries to strengthen international cooperation against rising global threats.
In his opening remarks, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer underscored the need for global collaboration in combating transnational organized crime, terrorism, and cyber threats.
“Too often, the tireless work of police officers goes unrecognized,” Starmer said, expressing gratitude for their dedication and reiterating the need for robust alliances.
On the sidelines, Director Amin held bilateral meetings with UAE and US officials, exploring further cooperative measures to address pressing issues in crime prevention and enforcement across jurisdictions.
The Assembly’s agenda is driven by four interactive panels examining critical aspects of modern policing.
These discussions will cover the implementation of advanced biometric systems, the impact of artificial intelligence on law enforcement, multilateral strategies for integrated global security, and evolving leadership roles within international policing.
Beyond policy discussions, the Assembly will also vote on Interpol’s 2025 budget and strategic initiatives, emphasizing sustained investment in international crime-fighting efforts.
Kenya’s presence at the General Assembly highlights its active role in global law enforcement.
Notably, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, the current President of the African Union Mechanism for Police Cooperation (AFRIPOL), recently participated in AFRIPOL’s annual meeting in Algeria, reinforcing Kenya’s commitment to continental and global security partnerships.
Interpol, the world’s largest police organization, relies on its National Central Bureaus (NCBs) to bridge cross-border investigations and intelligence-sharing among member countries.
Kenya hosts the Interpol Regional Bureau for Eastern Africa at the DCI headquarters in Nairobi, where the NCB facilitates regional and global collaborations on complex investigations.
