The one global resource for border security matters and international cooperation
BORDERPOL® is a 21st Century global border security body dedicated to making international borders smarter and safer. Recognizing the need for the establishment of a global home to over 1000 border related services BORDERPOL was officially registered in March 2003 as a non profit international association with Headquarters in Ottawa, Canada. It's primary mission is to represent the interests of and to facilitate co-operation among progressive national border services and related agencies in order to establish and operate border systems that effectively protect and efficiently connect the international community.

BORDERPOL®, est un organisme qui englobe tous les aspects de la sécurité frontalière du 21éme siècle avec pour principal objectif le franchissement des frontières plus sur et plus fonctionnel.

Association internationale sans but lucratif, BORDERPOL est enregistrée depuis 2003 au Canada où elle a établi son siège international. La mission prioritaire de cette association est de représenter les intérêts de tous les services "dynamiques" qui interviennent aux frontières nationales, d'encourager une coopération mutuelle afin d'établir et de faire fonctionner des systèmes transfrontaliers qui protégent de manière plus efficace tout en améliorant les relations au sein de la communauté internationale.

Ottawa July 2, 2009 -- WBO-BORDERPOL has announced the development of the International SAFEBORDER NETWORK.
The SAFEBORDER.Net initiative is a global extranet designed for sharing information between countries and between the agencies involved in border security.
Development of SAFEBORDER.Net will be rolled out in three phases.
Phase one of development is already well advanced and will see the launch of a global password protected extranet available to any law enforcement practitioners or agencies involved in border security. Here they will be able to share information on education, training, doctrine, best practice and more specific information about criminal gangs, terrorist organizations, their structure and modus operandi. It will also include other useful features like a forum, equipment database and events calendar.
Phase two will include an e-learning programme, the purpose being to set and raise standards across the global border enforcement community and create an internationally recognised qualification.
Phase three will introduce ?bad guy? information sharing. This will facilitate the use of the SAFEBORDER.Net interface to share information on known criminals.
SAFEBORDER.Net is an entirely self funded BORDERPOL initiative and in the absence of funding from governments, BORDERPOL is actively seeking corporate sponsorship to continue development of the network.
