Vision: To foster an international partnership using DNA in law enforcement
Interpol recognises the value of DNA profiling and is supporting this new investigative tool. Following the acceptance of Resolution No. 8 of the 67th General Assembly (Cairo, 1998) to advance international co-operation on the use of DNA in criminal investigations, the Interpol DNA Unit has been established. The objective of this unit is to:

provide strategic and technical support to enhance member states' DNA profiling capacity and promote widespread use in the international law enforcement environment.

The DNA Unit has designed the following projects to assist member states and encourage DNA profile comparison across international borders:

  Interpol DNA Database and Gateway

Data matching capacity available to all member states using DNA profiling in law enforcement that is in accordance with their national legislation. DNA profiles can be stored and searched across international borders using the Interpol Standard Set Of Loci (ISSOL).

  Interpol DNA Monitoring Expert Group

Field experts in forensic science and law enforcement drawn from member states across the five Interpol regions to provide expert guidance and direction for Interpol DNA profiling policy and projects.

To support the DNA Unit in providing an effective platform to service the demands of member states using DNA profiling in law enforcement.

 
 
  International DNA Users' Conference

A global focus of DNA managers from member states to maintain high level knowledge of developments in DNA applications to law enforcement through a biennial conference to examine new developments in DNA applications to enhance member states' capacity.

To introduce best practice models and widespread application of contemporary DNA usage in criminal investigations.

 
 
  Regional Support

A collective of member states in each of the five Interpol regions connected by local forensic and investigational issues affecting DNA applications to deliver training, workshops and information.

Adopting Interpol's preferred regional approach, promote the introduction and application of DNA profiling in member states with the ability and confidence to connect to the international profile matching system.
