As the current President of the Former Interpol Officers
Association (FIOA), and on behalf of all the members of the FIOA, I wish to welcome you to our web site.
The FIOA is a worldwide organization of current and former employees of the International Criminal Police
Organization (INTERPOL) who are, or were, assigned to work at the Interpol General Secretariat in France or at the National
Central Bureau of one of the member countries of Interpol. We also accept as Associate members, people from all occupations
and nationalities who share our support of Interpol and our support of the various law enforcement entities of the world in
the global fight against crime.
The goals of the FIOA are to maintain social and/or business
contacts between our members via FIOA publications as well as by national and international meetings of the Association, to
support the Secretary General of Interpol, to support the Interpol mission, and to support the work of law enforcement personnel
around the world in their fight against crime.
The bylaws of the FIOA are available for
you to read on our web site and we encourage you to do so. If after reading our bylaws and learning more about the FIOA, you
feel you may want to join the Association, we invite you to complete the online application for membership and to transmit
it to us. You will be notified after we review your application and the FIOA Membership Committee accepts you. The cost of
membership is $30.00 (USC) per year and many currencies in the world are accepted. You may also have your bank issue you an
international money order payable to the FIOA in the equivalent of $30.00 (USC).
Please
check our web site periodically as we are a relatively young organization and we expect many new and exciting changes to our
Association. Information on these changes will be placed on the FIOA web site as soon as possible. (Some information is restricted
to members only. If you are accepted as a member you will be furnished a userid and password to enable you to access our members
only pages).
If you have any questions about the FIOA, you may send them to me at my email
address of president@fioa.org or you may write to me at:
