AMERIPOL - Comunidad de Policías de América

What AMERIPOL - Comunidad de Policías de América does

AMERIPOL — Comunidad de Policías de América is an intergovernmental police cooperation community founded on December 2, 2007, under the Treaty of Brasília and headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia. The organization functions as a multilateral cooperative mechanism linking national police forces from across the Americas, with observer relationships extending to the United States (HSI, NYPD), Europe (EU-CLASI, EL PAcCTO 2.0), and Asia (Korean National Police, ASEANAPOL). Its operational core consists of specialized centers and networks: the Sistema de Intercambio de Información Policial (SIPA) for cross-border intelligence sharing; the Centro Especializado Antidrogas (CEA) for anti-narcotics coordination; the Centro Especializado contra el Cibercrimen (AC3) for cybercrime response; the Centro Especializado contra la Trata de Personas y el Tráfico de Migrantes (CTT) for trafficking operations; Red Águilas for special-operations interoperability; RED CIRA for international disaster response; and Red ANFAST for fugitive location. AMERIPOL coordinates simultaneous transnational operations (Global Chain, SIFCO, CENTINELA, JAPURÁ, ARMAS, PREVENCIÓN) that have produced documented outcomes including 256+ detentions in Global Chain, over 12,000 vehicles recovered in CENTINELA, and USD 196.6M in economic impact from individual operations.

The organization is governed through a rotating Presidency (currently held by Colombia's National Police under General William Oswaldo Rincón Zambrano) and Executive Secretariat (transferred to Carabineros de Chile under Marcelo Araya Zapata for 2026-2028). Its business model is non-commercial: AMERIPOL is funded by contributions from member police institutions and countries, provides services at no charge, and operates with a small Secretariat of approximately 5 direct employees supplemented by in-kind personnel from member forces. Governance is also formalized through a Constitutive Treaty currently undergoing ratification by signatory nations. Recent strategic initiatives — the launch of Red CIRA (December 2025), the Police Observatory for Public Order Control (November 2025), the PREVENCIÓN gender-violence action, and continued partnership deepening with Europol, INTERPOL, and Frontex — signal an organization expanding in institutional scope and operational mandate rather than commercial scale.
