Commissioner elected as Interpol Head
-
MOSCOW: Singapore Police Commissioner Khoo Boon Hui was elected the new president of INTERPOL on Friday, the international police organisation said.
Delegates chose Khoo at the end of the general assembly of the 187-country police organisation in Saint Petersburg, Russia, INTERPOL said in a statement on its website.
"As the organisation's new president, I will build on the progress we have made thus far and ensure INTERPOL can better meet the demands of international policing in the 21st century," Khoo was quoted as saying in the statement.
"INTERPOL plays a critical role in international police co-operation by equipping police forces around the world with the necessary infrastructure, training and operational support to combat transnational crime and terrorism," said Khoo.
Khoo replaces South Africa's chief of police Jackie Selebi, who resigned in January after prosecutors announced their intention to charge him over his links to a businessman accused of murder.
Khoo will serve a four-year term as president of INTERPOL's executive committee, in addition to his existing duties as commissioner of the Singapore Police Force.
He will be based in Singapore.
INTERPOL, which stands for the International Criminal Police Organisation, has 187 member countries.
It facilitates cross-border police cooperation and helps organisations fight international crime.

not according to wikipedia. it says that mr Tee Tua Bah joined as ASP. Maybe you can go correct it, wikipedia not always accurate. promote all the way from LCP to commissioner sounds more awesome.

http://www.spf.gov.sg/prints/plm/2005/apr05_pg03.htm according to this article, 1950s got senior officer course le.http://www.guocoland.com/directors.shtml, according to this article, Mr Goh Yong Hong joined the force for 31 years, and retired in 92, so he joined in the 61. think it is more likely he joined as inspector, since he got a degree. -
