The EU and INTERPOL have joined their efforts to help strengthen security across Jordan by providing frontline officers with access to INTERPOL’s global tools and services. They have launched the project Estijab (“response” in Arabic) as part of a larger EU-funded €5 million programme, in partnership with the Jordanian government, aiming at boosting the ability of Jordanian authorities to improve public security and the rule of law.
Project Estijab will see the expansion of access to INTERPOL’s secure global police communications system, known as I-24/7, in order to assist Jordanian authorities in identifying security threats at its borders.
