Major international sporting events such as the Olympic
Games and FIFA World Cup tournaments present many
policing and security challenges for the host countries.
As well as taking place in large, complex and dispersed
locations, such events can attract a range of criminal
activities from disorder and violence to cyberattacks and
even terrorism. Host countries and event owners are faced
with the challenge of providing a smooth-running and
successful event while keeping event participants and
spectators safe and secure.
With its global network of experts in 192 member countries,
INTERPOL is ideally placed to serve as a centralized hub
for research, design, planning, coordination and training
to help meet this challenge, within a structure that assures
high standards and quality.
