INTERPORTPOLICE

Established in 1968 as a specialised security organisation by police authorities from Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, to support efforts in counterterrorism and serious transnational crime. Today, we collaborate globally with port police, security authorities, and international organisations such as the United Nations and NATO agencies.

Our primary focus is at the intergovernmental level, where we provide technical assistance to address challenges facing law enforcement, public safety, and security. These efforts are directed towards government authorities tasked with counterterrorism and security responsibilities. We also identify, define, and share best practices, serving as a collaborative source of information and a clearinghouse to enhance public safety across the transportation and supply chain sectors.

Our cooperation extends to other agencies, partners, and private sector entities, recognising that effective security requires a comprehensive and unified approach.

Our Mission

Service and History

Our interagency security organisation was founded over 55 years ago by global authorities to address serious transnational crime. At the heart of our mission is the collaboration between law enforcement and security professionals, working together to safeguard public safety, protect critical infrastructure, and ensure secure transportation, supply chains, and borders.

As a unified global team, we are more effective and resilient—acting as a collective force to meet today’s complex security challenges.

Emblem

Patch

Shield

Our emblem and shield were updated for the first time in 2011 since 1972. Added are 37 stars representing our fallen colleagues from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department on September 11, 2001. These stars are a continuous reminder never to forget our fallen officers and officials and to those who follow in their path, working every day to fight terrorism and serious transnational crime. Fred V. Morrone, Superintendent of Police and Director of Public Safety of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police, was the INTERPORTPOLICE's executive vice president and incoming Board President.

We empower authorities and their security communities worldwide with collective knowledge and capabilities, offering leading security practises, risk mitigation programmes resources, training, and events.

One of the foremost outcomes is the collaboration and connections made. We invite airport, seaport, transport, and border agencies to take advantage of these programs to further collaborate with other authorities and connected organizations, to stand with them in harmony, and to work for common public safety efforts throughout respective communities and worldwide.
