Interpol

Today's crimes are interconnected and global. More than ever, there is a need for multilateral police cooperation to address the security challenges facing the world. INTERPOL's role is to enable police in the company's 190 member countries to work together to make the world a safer place. The company provides secure access to global databases of p... olice information on criminals and crime, operational and forensic support, analysis services and training. The company's colour-coded Notices are used to alert police worldwide to wanted people, security threats and modus operandi. All these policing capabilities are delivered worldwide and support three global programmes against the issues that the company consider to be the most pressing today: counter-terrorism, cybercrime, and organized and emerging crime. INTERPOL's General Secretariat is based in Lyon, France, supported by the Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore, seven regional bureaus and Special Representative offices at the African Union, the European Union and the United Nations. Each member country runs an INTERPOL National Central Bureau, staffed by national law enforcement officials, which connects them and their frontline officers to the company's global network.Read More
