At the international level, INTERPOL supports countries to share intelligence, information, and best practices to address transboundary crimes, as well as engaging with other international organizations (such as the World Customs Organization) to bring coordinated support to national law enforcement networks to address trafficking in illicit goods and global health issues more efficiently, with the objective of disrupting/dismantling major transnational criminal networks.
 

The incumbent will have specific responsibility for supporting cases and threats in respect to intellectual property crime, including digital copyright piracy.
