🌐 INTERPOL Washington and Panama Enhance Border Security through Project TERMINUS

We are excited to announce a significant milestone in our efforts to enhance global security. INTERPOL Washington’s , in collaboration with the National Central Bureau (NCB) Panama, has successfully integrated INTERPOL HQ data into Panama's newly established Border Information and Analysis Targeting Unit (BIATU). This advancement strengthens Panama's border security and increases the safety of both our nations.

“Through international collaboration, we have significantly increased our Panamanian partners’ ability to detect and disrupt threats, increasing security in both of our nations,” said INTERPOL Washington Acting Director Jeffrey Grimming. “By better enabling the BIATU to provide timely, relevant, and actionable intelligence to border security leaders, we have collectively made significant strides toward building a safer region and safer world for us all.”

With support from the U.S. Department of State CT Bureau, Project TERMINUS facilitated the direct connection of BIATU to critical INTERPOL data through NCB Panama, significantly enhancing operational efficiency. This integration not only strengthens Panama's overall security but also reinforces its relations with partner nations.

Project TERMINUS continues to provide expert technical assistance to countries worldwide, helping them integrate INTERPOL databases into their national border security systems. This support is crucial in screening against the illicit international travel of transnational criminals and terrorists.
