BRASILIA, Brazil, CMC – The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and INTERPOL have announced a partnership through the Alliance for Security, Justice, and Development's Rapid Response Task Force to provide specialised support to countries tackling security and justice challenges across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The task force has already been deployed in Jamaica, Peru, Guatemala and Brazil, with Brazil selected for the first pilot project to assess whether the model can be replicated elsewhere in the region.

The IDB said the collaboration marks a new phase in regional cooperation and operational readiness.
