Interpol

The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) unites law enforcement agencies from 195 member countries, facilitating global police cooperation to combat international crime and terrorism.

Maven provided simultaneous interpretation services for Interpol’s key regional events in 2012 and 2018, including a major conference on match-fixing in Asian football
co-organized with FIFA.

These high-level gatherings were held in Malaysia and Singapore and brought together diverse stakeholders from law enforcement agencies, sports governing bodies, and the legal sector. Our role included sourcing skilled bilingual interpreters capable of navigating complex cross-disciplinary discussions while maintaining clarity and precision.

The events required interpreters to manage dynamic, content-heavy exchanges in both formal and technical registers, supporting training sessions and plenary discussions with the same level of linguistic consistency.

Each session benefited from our experience in deploying language interpreters who could switch effectively between legal, investigative, and sports-related terminology without loss of nuance or tone.

The content of the events revolved around sensitive law enforcement topics, requiring language interpreters to work under strict confidentiality terms. Discussions covered active investigations, compliance issues, and legal frameworks, demanding high accuracy in terminology use.

Interpreter selection was critical—not just for language ability, but for the capacity to handle confidential and technically demanding material. The diverse makeup of the audience further complicated interpretation delivery, as participants came from multiple professional domains, each with unique expectations and communicative styles. Managing this mix while upholding confidentiality and maintaining clarity was a key challenge.

Maven delivered seamless interpretation support across all sessions, ensuring that multilingual participants could engage fully with the content. Our bilingual interpreters adapted expertly to shifting tones and complex themes, earning client praise for their accuracy and discretion. These events demonstrated our ability to support high-stakes international cooperation initiatives with linguistic precision and quiet professionalism.
