LYON, France, June 4 (UPI) -- Security authorities in Mexico have partnered with Interpol to connect the country's criminal database to Interpol's secure global police communications system.

The partnership will provide Interpol member countries with the ability to access Mexico's police database and also populate Interpol's network with persons wanted in Mexico, among other intelligence sharing. Officials say the database connection is expected to take place before the end of August, Interpol reported.

The intelligence networking agreement is an effort to enhance Interpol's transnational policing efforts while increasing the capabilities of Mexican police authorities with a worldwide criminal database.

"Sharing this valuable information with other countries is essential for making police intelligence effective worldwide," Jose Francisco Niembro Gonzalez, Interpol undersecretary, said in a statement.

"It will give Mexico improved access to Interpol services, and will give police in other countries access to information about Mexicans to assist their investigations."
