Background and faculties

The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) founded in 1923, is an intergovernmental organization that works along with the police of 196 member countries. Its  main objective and function is that the police around the world work in collaboration to maintain global security in the resolution of international conflicts and crimes, allowing the police bodies to work together even though there is not a diplomatic relation among the countries. The central headquarters of INTERPOL are located in Lyon, France. Likewise, this organization counts with the General Secretariat that is in charge of coordinating the activities, the Secretary-General, the National Central Bureau (NCB) that is the central point of contact between the  organization and other NCBs in each country, and the General Assembly working as the supreme body that annually takes decisions with a representative of each of the member countries. 

With the intention of fulfilling its objective of working collaboratively to have global security, the International Criminal Police Organization has the capacity to:

  • Provide training and technical support to the police corps in the member countries.

  • Give assistance in the integration of special projects for specific crimes.

  • Offer support in the search and investigations of fugitives and international crimes.

  • Carry out proper recording and data management such as names, facial recognition, fingerprints, DNA, stolen property (as passports and vehicles), and armaments.

  • Establishes communication networks where information about crimes and criminals is given.

  • Create dialogue spaces to discuss and share ideas or strategies internationally between country members.
