INTERPOL Washington Welcomes "Flat" Detailees
On Wednesday, June 14th, INTERPOL Washington—the U.S. National Central Bureau--welcomed some very special detailees. Flat Stanley, Stella, Saul, and Santos will be learning about INTERPOL Washington’s national and international mission this summer. Their time with INTERPOL Washington will culminate with a presentation to the children of our employees, during the Department of Justice’s Kids Day activities in August.
On his first day, Flat Stanley helped INTERPOL Washington celebrate Flag Day by attending a Washington Nationals baseball game where he met a local Metro Transit police officer and a fire fighter from the L’Enfant Plaza fire station. He also showed his patriotism by posing for a photograph with the U.S. flag.
A component of the U.S. Department of Justice, INTERPOL Washington is co-managed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. As the designated representative to INTERPOL on behalf of the Attorney General, INTERPOL Washington serves as the national point of contact for all INTERPOL matters, coordinating international investigative efforts among member countries and the more than 18,000 local, state, federal and tribal law enforcement agencies in the United States.
