The INTERPOL General
Secretariat employs approximately 800 staff members from 100 different
countries. Staff are based at the main Secretariat building in Lyon, France,
the Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore, or in one of our regional
offices.
Approximately one-third
of these staff are seconded or detached by their national law enforcement
administrations in INTERPOL’s 190 member countries; the others are
international civil servants hired under contract directly by the Organization.
INTERPOL accepts
applications from nationals of all its member countries to ensure that the organization
remains truly representative. Staff work in the organization’s four official
languages: Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
INTERPOL’s staff values
are respect, integrity, excellence, teamwork and innovation. The actions of
international officials should be guided by these values which they should
reflect in their work and daily activities through their actions and behaviour.
