Fighting organized crime in Denmark
Denmark is a Nordic country in Northern Europe, sharing waters with many countries around the Baltic Sea and a land border with the European continent. It also includes Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Serious organized crime in Denmark primarily involves digital crime (both cyber-enabled and cyber-dependent), financial crime, drug trafficking, and property crime. The international dimension of these threats and their links to global criminal networks make the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) in Copenhagen essential to national and regional security.
INTERPOL in Denmark
NCB Copenhagen enables local law enforcement to identify, investigate and prevent global crime affecting Denmark. It works with NCBs in all continents to monitor the global crime situation and enable preventive action in Denmark when required.
By providing globally sourced intelligence about regional crime, the NCB helps police officers across the country detect and investigate global serious organized crime affecting Denmark.
The INTERPOL NCB in Copenhagen is part of the Danish National Police.
Law enforcement in Denmark
Law enforcement services in Denmark are provided by the police force, called “Politiet”. Led by a National Commissioner, this force answers to the Danish Ministry of Justice.
“Rigspolitiet” is the national directorate for the police force and has overall responsibility for the country’s 14 police districts and the Special Crimes Unit, including the police districts of the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Each district is headed by a local Commissioner.
