After nearly a decade at the helm, Nicoletta della Valle announces her resignation from the Federal Office of Police, effective January 2025.
The Director of the Federal Office of Police (Fedpol), Nicoletta della Valle, is stepping down on January 31, 2025. The Federal Council approved the 62-year-old’s resignation on Wednesday. A decision on her successor will be made at a later date.
Della Valle has been head of Fedpol for almost ten years. It was very important to her to turn the federal office into a police force, as the Federal Council wrote in a press release.
In the fight against terrorist threats and organised crime, she relied heavily on intensive cooperation with Swiss and foreign partner authorities.
“The Federal Council would like to thank Nicoletta della Valle for her work and her commitment to the security of the Swiss population,” the press release stated. According to the Federal Council, the position will soon be advertised publicly.
