It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of IACP Middle East/North Africa (MENA) Regional Office in Doha, Qatar which is under my leadership since 2005.

The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) as you know is a non-profit organization which aims to achieve security and stability in various parts of the world along with taking part to solve problems facing security and police sectors through exchanging expertise, experiences and information that can find out solutions and suggestions to reach best results through enhancing cooperation between chiefs of police around the globe.

We, the IACP MENA Regional office is also attempting to achieve the same goals of the IACP and we are also concerned to promote the memberships for the member states in the Regional office working together to improve the security and police duties in our region. Definitely, we are concerned with developing the quality of the police duty by marketing the programs and services of the IACP along with introducing the earned expertise from our joint efforts among other members.

So, we would like to invite all states under MENA region to become a member of the IACP so as to get benefited from the police expertise, studies, security researches and conferences organized by the IACP in different fields that can yield a modern concept of police and security tasks.

On this occasion, I have extreme pleasure to invite the chiefs of police and other senior police executives under our regional office to participate in the conference organized by the IACP in Doha between 17-19/11/2008 as the conference will be a great venue to discuss and consult about various issues related to security and police.
