Governor
General Director of Turkish National Police
Turkish National Police, with more than 240.000 members of staff, is
dedicated to serving the community by enhancing public safety through
cooperative interaction with public and other relevant organizations in
line with principles and reforms, within the framework of democratic,
secular and social state governed by the rule of law, abiding by human
rights and universal values.
We are responsible for protecting life and property, enforcing laws,
and taking all appropriate measures to combat crimes. In this respect,
preventing crimes before they occur by doing effective and efficient
community policing with the most professional and well-trained staff in
every city of Turkey.
Since the security problems such as terrorism and transnational
crimes are becoming global and worldwide cooperation is highly needed to overcome those challenges, Turkish National Police has signed
99 Security Cooperation Agreements up to now with 59 countries in
combating against crimes.
We are also determined to promote the peace of the world by the principle embedded in our leader Atatürk’s motto:‘‘Peace at home, Peace
in the World”, which could be considered as the basis of the foreign
policy of the Republic of Turkey. In this regard, we make contributions
to the United Nations or other international organizations such as EU,
OSCE, NATO, Temporary International Presence in the city of Hebron
(TIPH) and Turkish Provincial Reconstruction Teams in Afghanistan
both financially and by providing human resources.
In closing, we would like to state that it is our objective to prepare our
organization to serve the society better in the future than today with
more effective policing techniques on combating crime and constant
training including technological development and innovative ideas.
