Global Crime Response | Cyril Gout (INTERPOL)
Cyril Gout, Executive Director for Police Services at INTERPOL, outlines how the organization adapts to the rising complexity of transnational crime. Criminals now operate globally, exploiting technology with growing sophistication. In response, INTERPOL strengthens cross-border police cooperation, focusing on information-sharing, capacity-building, and ethical use of advanced technologies. Gout emphasizes that law enforcement must stay ahead by using AI and biometrics to analyze data and identify suspects in near real time. He highlights a victim-centered approach, warning of risks like online scams, forced labor, and voice spoofing. INTERPOL’s tools, including its 24/7 global communication platform and early-warning systems, help freeze criminal funds quickly and protect vulnerable communities. With 196 member countries, INTERPOL serves as a global hub, aiming not just to catch up with innovation, but to use it responsibly in the fight against international crime.
