On July 29, the People's Public Security University of China (PPSUC) and INTERPOL jointly signed the Agreement on the People's Public Security University of China Joining the Interpol Global Academy Network, marking the university's official accession to the Interpol Global Academy Network.

This move is a specific measure for PPSUC to implement the Global Security Initiative (GSI) proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, a vivid practice in serving the overall situation of international law enforcement and security cooperation, and a practical action in deeply participating in international police education cooperation. This is not only an important milestone in the development history of PPSUC, but also a powerful demonstration of China's active participation in international law enforcement and security cooperation and its practice of the GSI.

The long-term and comprehensive cooperaton between PPSUC and INTERPOL

As a pacesetter in the high-quality development of China's public security colleges and universities as well as public security higher education, PPSUC has always adhered to a domestic-oriented approach while maintaining a global perspective. While solidly carrying out the training of outstanding domestic policing talents, it proactively serves the overall situation of international law enforcement and security cooperation and actively engages in the practice of global public security governance.To respond to the talent strategy of INTERPOL, the University, relying on its training base for foreign-related legal talents, has developed characteristic courses on INTERPOL and police liaison. It focuses on cultivating interdisciplinary policing talents with an international vision, proficiency in cross-border law enforcement collaboration, and a good command of the operating rules of international organizations, laying a solid foundation for providing outstanding policing talents to international organizations including INTERPOL.Teachers and students of the University have participated in various meetings and seminars under the framework of INTERPOL on many occasions, such as the INTERPOL Conclusion Meeting for First Light Operations 2024, the Promotion Meeting for the Development of Intellectual Property Law Enforcement and Crime Courses, the 23rd INTERPOL Police Training Seminar, and the 86th INTERPOL General Assembly. Through these events, they have deeply learned and absorbed advanced experience and practical wisdom in global policing governance.

In recent years, senior officials of INTERPOL have visited PPSUC on multiple occasions to deliver special speeches, host professional lectures, and attend the Police College Presidents' Forum, among other activities. Additionally, INTERPOL President Jürgen Stock paid a special visit to our university in June 2025 and attended the graduation ceremony for the class of 2025. Meanwhile, practicing experts from INTERPOL have also come to the university many times to give lectures and conduct exchanges, sharing cutting-edge concepts and practical experience.

Standing at a new historical starting point, PPSUC has clearly formulated its cooperation vision: relying on the high-quality platform of the INTERPOL Global Academy Network, PPSUC will launch efforts in aspects such as law enforcement talent cultivation, policing discipline research cooperation, and undertaking professional training, conduct in-depth exchanges with top international police academies, continuously produce academic achievements with international influence, and build effective thematic training programs.
