George Town, Guyana: The INTERPOL Americas Regional Conference concluded after two days of discussions, operational exchanges and strategic dialogue involving law enforcement leaders from across the region.
The conference examined the evolving threat landscape, with particular focus on transnational organized crime, illicit financial flows and emerging crime trends. Around 80 law enforcement officials from 27 countries participated in the two-day meeting held on September 23 and 24.
Delegates adopted recommendations aimed at strengthening cooperation among law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, asset recovery offices and judicial authorities to identify and disrupt illicit financial flows.
The discussions also highlighted greater use of INTERPOL tools, including the Global Rapid Intervention of Payments (I-GRIP) mechanism and Silver Notices, to support efforts to trace, freeze and recover criminal proceeds.
Participants further discussed the INTERPOL Operational Task Force Model to strengthen intelligence-led policing against complex transnational organized crime.
The conference reaffirmed the commitment of law enforcement agencies across the Americas to deepen international cooperation, strengthen information sharing and enhance collective responses to emerging and cross-border crime threats.
