RABAT - The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) decorated the Director-General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance, Abdellatif Hammouchi, with the Organization’s highest honour. 

This high honour is in recognition of the exceptional efforts spent by the Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance to strengthen security and stability at the regional and international levels, and to enshrine the values of partnership and solidarity between Arab countries and Interpol, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) said in a statement.

In this respect, INTERPOL emphasized that this high honour also embodies the Organization’s esteem to Hammouchi’s continued commitment to supporting international cooperation in law enforcement, his efficient contribution to building a safer and fairer world for everyone, as well as his major and distinguished role in bolstering Arab and international security cooperation and supporting joint action processes between Arab countries and the international criminal police Organization to fight against transnational organized crime, the statement points out.
