Organizations

Interpol

Interpol “facilitates cross-border police co-operation, and supports and assists all organizations, authorities, and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime.” Directly resulting from “a grant of nearly one million dollars from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Secretary General Ronald K. Noble has been able to create a dedicated unit at the Interpol General Secretariat in Lyon, France. This unit will develop a programme to build national and international capacity to counter the threat of bioterrorism. This bioterrorism programme will: raise awareness of the threat; develop police training programmes; strengthen efforts to enforce existing legislation; promote the development of new legislation; [and,] encourage inter-agency co-operation on bioterrorism.”
