Established in 2001, Civipol, the consulting and service company of the French Ministry of the Interior, provides services in the areas of homeland security, civil protection and governance to clients in France and abroad.
Civipol is regularly involved in large-scale international projects through auditing, advisory, technical assistance and training assignments.
How do they operate?
Their approach to these assignments consists of taking into account the technical, logistical, operational and cultural capabilities of the country or business concerned. Their work programmes are therefore specifically tailored to meet the features and needs of our clients.
Civipol’s corporate objective is not the sale of equipment. Thus, their recommendations remain totally impartial.
Given that they operate in a continuously changing world in which new threats are emerging against a background of never-ending technological developments, staff training issues are of crucial importance.
Civipol also works in partnership with other market stakeholders and is a member of several professional networks.
How do they work?
Civipol’s client base is made up of French ministries, international organisations, foreign states and businesses. They support their clients throughout the various stages of their projects. Whether they intervene as operator or service provider, the excellence of their input is based on their specialization, delivered by their international experts or by personnel from the French Ministry of the Interior.
As a para-governmental company with ISO 9001 certification and a highly qualified and dynamic team, Civipol has built its reputation on its responsiveness, operational flexibility and ability to deliver a full range of customised services.
The vast experience they have gained in promoting public expertise in the areas of homeland security, civil protection and governance has turned Civipol into one of the foremost proponents of French know-how on export markets.
Civipol operates in Europe and in some 30 countries across the world.
In 2014, in line with their objectives, they broadened the scope of their geographical reach. Thus, for example, they have extended the scope of their interventions beyond the limits of French-speaking Africa by operating in Nigeria and several countries in the Horn of Africa.
At the same time, in spite of the difficult - and even deteriorating - security conditions prevailing in some of the countries in which they have intervened, such as Yemen and the CAR, for example, they have managed to continue operating there and to complete all their assignments successfully.
