INterPol Report and All

 INTERPOL (International Police Organization) is the world’s largest
international police organization, with 190 member countries. Its role is to

enable police around the world to work together to make the world a safer
place. It’s high-tech infrastructure of technical and operational support
helps meet the growing challenges of fighting crime in the 21st century.
The General Assembly and Executive Committee form the Organization's
governance.
1.) General Assembly – INTERPOL’s supreme governing body, the General

Assembly is composed of delegates appointed by each member country.
It meets annually to take all important decisions related to policy,
resources, working methods, finances, activities and programs.
2.) Executive Committee – Elected by the General Assembly, the Executive

Committee is headed by the President of the Organization. It provides
guidance and direction to the Organization and oversees the
implementation of decisions made at the annual General Assembly
 History - 1914
First International Criminal Police Congress held in Monaco. Police officers,
lawyers and magistrates from 24 countries meet to discuss arrest
procedures, identification techniques, centralized international criminal
records and extradition proceedings.
 National Central Bureaus (NCBs) – Each INTERPOL member country

maintains a National Central Bureau linking national police with our global
network. Staffed by highly trained national law enforcement officers, NCBs
are the lifeblood of INTERPOL, contributing to its criminal databases and
cooperating together on cross-border investigations, operations and arrests
 Data base
- At INTERPOL, we provide our member countries with instant, direct access
to a number of criminal databases. These contain millions of records,
contributed by countries across the world.
 IBIN- IBIN is the only large-scale international ballistic data sharing network
in the world. It allows police to develop new investigative leads based on
ballistic cross-comparison and to find connections between separate crime
scenes from different countries that could have otherwise highly remained
undetected.
 Funding – Statutory contributions by Member countries and externally
funded projects, private foundations and commercial enterprises.
 INTERPOL’S OBJECTIVES:
1.) Manage secure communication channels that connect National Central
Bureaus in all our member countries, along with other authorized law
enforcement agencies and partners, and which give access to a range of
criminal databases.
2.) A large number of policing capabilities – such as forensics and training –
underpin our three Global Programs to fight crime (Counter-terrorism,
Cybercrime, and Organized and emerging crime). We seek to serve as
the catalyst for efforts in global, regional and national law enforcement
3.) We are committed to enhancing the tools and services we provide,

Innovation becomes part of our working culture, upheld at every level of
the Organization.
(EX) The INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI) is a cutting-
edge research and development facility for the identification of crimes
and criminals, innovative training, operational support and partnerships.
4.) In order to keep up with the evolving law enforcement landscape, we

will continue to modernize the Organization’s structures and processes
to ensure efficient delivery of our capabilities and services.
ADVANTAGES:
1.) A network of police from different nations, a collaborative
organization. Through “a practical arrangement” between local
police themselves. Rather than creating a new breed of cops
with a global beat and a responsibility for international law
enforcement, Interpol established a mechanism for helping
local police do their local jobs.
2.) Maintenance of international criminal databases and

facilitating contacts among officers from different national
police forces—tasks that have been greatly refined in recent
years with advances in communications technology.
3.) Terrorist incidents that begin in one country and end in

another (e.g., many skyjackings) are transnational, as are
assassinations or kidnappings of foreigners by a domestic
terrorist group. INTERPOL focused more of its crime-fighting
resources on Counterterrorism. In particular, INTERPOL
assumed a proactive role in fighting transnational terrorism by
bolstering international cooperative linkages among law
enforcement agencies,
(ex) INTERPOL created a Public Safety and Terrorism (PST) sub

directorate in October 2001 following the September 11, 2001
hijackings (henceforth, 9/11) in
The United States
