REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

Authorities, police, public safety, intelligence, and security whose country is a member of the United Nations or INTERPOL, and those admitted to the INTERPORTPOLICE before 2010 are eligible authorities.

The admission policy allows for the donor and observation authority status. Authority funding donor allocation was suspended in 2008; however, effective in 2024, a minimum donor fee of $950 is required unless Observation or Consultative Status is granted (no donor fee).    

Upon submission, a letter of invitation will be offered.  The Organization donor admission fee will be sent via an invoice.  Requirements are as follows:

AUTHORITY ADMISSION

STATUTORY AUTHORITY

Be a legally constituted government, authority, or regulated authority for law enforcement security or intelligence responsible for aviation, maritime, transport, or border sector. Members are asked to contribute a donor fee to support the organization's efforts.  However, observer status can be granted for agencies that cannot fulfill the donation.

STATUARY CONTRIBUTIONS: Each authority is asked to contribute as a donor or can apply for observer status. Our goal is to be inclusive and allow those who serve in aviation, maritime, border, and transport law enforcement and public safety to contribute to security efforts.

• Apply for admission per the guidelines and policies of the INTERPORTPOLICE.

  • Law enforcement, security, and intelligence authority/government agency related to aviation, maritime, or transport (includes border/transit).  Upon submission, a draft admission letter will be forwarded to the authority.  A list of senior personnel will be requested.  An authority with extreme budget restraints may request Observation Status. This category is a voting member of the AGM.

  • Regulated Authority: Port Authority security and/or public safety related to aviation, maritime, transport, or border that are a private organization regulated or contracted by a government authority. The organization's donor fee is $1,525 a year.  

Funding – The requirements to work globally and assist member countries and authorities from traditional resources go beyond police and security budgets. Therefore, voluntary funding from governments and security organizations, non-governmental organizations, and private entities through programmes, projects, grants, and other contributions becomes essential and recommended. We appreciate your appropriate inquiries.
