The African Union Mechanism for Police Cooperation, commonly referred to as AFRIPOL, is a continental police organization established to enhance cooperation among law enforcement agencies of African Union (AU) member states. AFRIPOL plays a pivotal role in strengthening police collaboration, combating transnational crime, and maintaining peace and security across Africa. Its operations align with global standards and complement the efforts of similar organizations such as Interpol.
