GENERAL SECRETARIAT

The General Secretariat runs INTERPOL’s day-to-day activities to support member countries in their international policing.

INTERPOL is a membership-based organization, and the General Secretariat is the body that coordinates all our policing and administrative activities.

It is run by the Secretary General; currently Jürgen Stock of Germany, who was appointed by the General Assembly in November 2014.

There are around 1,000 staff, one-quarter of whom are law enforcement personnel seconded by their national administration. Staff work in any of the Organization’s four languages: Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
