About INTERPOL
INTERPOL, the International Criminal Police Organization, enables police to cooperate across borders. Founded in 1923, it connects national law-enforcement authorities through secure communications, databases, notices, analytical support, operational coordination and capacity building. INTERPOL does not replace national police or make arrests; it provides the tools and coordination that help member countries prevent and combat transnational crime while operating within its rules of neutrality.

Working with INTERPOL
Working at INTERPOL supports international police cooperation rather than acting as a supranational police force. Contracted officials and seconded police officers work in crime analysis, cybercrime, forensics, databases, operational support, legal affairs, technology, finance, human resources, communications and security. Roles can be based at headquarters, the Global Complex for Innovation, regional bureaux or representative offices, requiring integrity, neutrality, discretion and precise cross-border collaboration.
Why Work at INTERPOL?
Enable secure cross-border policing
Help member countries exchange intelligence, access operational tools and address crime that crosses borders.
Apply specialist skills without police powers
Contribute as a civilian or seconded officer within an impartial international coordination organization.
Work with a near-universal network
Support cooperation among 196 member countries from a diverse international General Secretariat.
How to Apply for INTERPOL Jobs
INTERPOL requires applications through its online Recruitment Hub. It does not consider spontaneous applications or applications sent by email or post.
Official INTERPOL application route ↗1Search the Recruitment Hub
Use **Search Jobs** in INTERPOL’s Recruitment Hub and filter by keyword, duty station or contract type. Read the posting description closely; the Hub notes that a role’s detailed description is the most accurate source when multiple duty stations are possible.
2Create a candidate profile in the Hub
Select **Join us** to create your candidate profile, then apply to the individual vacancy. Do not send an unsolicited CV by email: INTERPOL’s official vacancies page says only online Recruitment Hub applications are considered.
3Check whether the post is contracted or seconded
INTERPOL employs contracted international civil servants and seconded police officers. For a seconded post, first review the official Secondments guidance and your eligibility with the relevant national administration; both vacancy and secondment candidates apply through the Hub.
4Prepare verifiable supporting records
Selected candidates must provide diplomas and certificates, proof of listed employment, a recent Criminal Record Certificate for relevant countries of residence and origin, and two professional references. Ensure the employment history entered in your profile can be substantiated.
5Prepare for testing and a video-panel interview
Shortlisted candidates may be contacted for testing or interviews, which INTERPOL says are usually conducted by video conference with a staff panel and Staff Committee representative. Keep monitoring your application communications; the Organization notes that contact can take several months.

Frequently asked questions about INTERPOL careers
Where do I apply for INTERPOL jobs?+
Apply only through INTERPOL’s online Recruitment Hub. Its official vacancies page specifically says spontaneous applications and submissions by mail or email are not considered. Search the live postings, create a candidate profile through **Join us**, and apply to each position separately through the Hub.
Do I need to be a police officer to work at INTERPOL?+
No. INTERPOL says law-enforcement experience is not compulsory for all roles; requirements are set in the individual notice. Its workforce includes contracted international civil servants as well as police officers seconded by national administrations. Technology, analysis, legal, operations and corporate-support profiles can all be relevant.
What is the difference between a contracted and seconded role?+
Contracted officials are hired directly by INTERPOL, while seconded police officers are provided by their national administrations. INTERPOL advertises seconded posts competitively and directs candidates to its eligibility guidance, but both routes use the Recruitment Hub. Read the contract type and application route in the specific vacancy before applying.
What documents might INTERPOL request?+
For selected candidates, INTERPOL lists scanned qualifications, proof for each position claimed, a Criminal Record Certificate issued within the last three months, and two professional references. The criminal-record requirement covers the country of origin and countries where you lived for more than one year in the past five years.
How do INTERPOL interviews work?+
INTERPOL says most interviews use video conference with a panel of staff members and a Staff Committee representative, so travel is normally unnecessary for that stage. Shortlisted applicants may also be contacted for testing. The official page cautions that this contact can take months, so retain your records and monitor the email used in the Hub.
