Jordan joined the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) in 1956 in which it was one of the first countries to combine this organization.
In this regard, a national central bureau was created after innovating a Criminal Investigation Department tracking division.
Jordan joined the Arab Interior Ministers Council in 1982. In this respect, the Interpol Criminal Investigative Division was assigned the tasks of Amman Liaison Division of the Arab Interior Ministers Council, so the name of this division became (Arab and International Police Department).
In 1997, as the Arab and International Police Department's tasks expanded, an independent department called the Arab and International Police Department was created.
