INTERPOL is the world’s largest international police organization, with 186 member countries. Created in 1923, it facilitates cross-border police co-operation, and supports and assists all organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime.

INTERPOL aims to facilitate international police co-operation even where diplomatic relations do not exist between particular countries. Action is taken within the limits of existing laws in different countries and in the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. INTERPOL’s constitution prohibits ‘any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character.’

INTERPOL’s four core functions Operational data services and databases for police INTERPOL’s databases and services ensure that police worldwide have access to the information and services they need to prevent and investigate crimes. Databases include data on criminals such as names, fingerprints and DNA profiles, and stolen property such as passports, vehicles and works of art.

INTERPOL’s four core functions Operational police support services INTERPOL supports law enforcement officials in the field with emergency support and operational activities, especially in its priority crime areas of fugitives, public safety and terrorism, drugs and organized crime, trafficking in human beings and financial and high-tech crime. A Command and Co-ordination Centre operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

INTERPOL’s four core functions Police training and development INTERPOL provides focused police training initiatives for national police forces, and also offers on-demand advice, guidance and support in building dedicated crime-fighting components. The aim is to enhance the capacity of member countries to effectively combat serious trans-national crime and terrorism. This includes sharing knowledge, skills and best practices in policing through INTERPOL channels and the establishment of global standards on how to combat specific forms of crimes.

Interpol’s Working Group Vehicle Crime Interpol’s Working Group On an international level, the General Secretariat has set up and chairs a number of working groups which meet on a regular basis, and has developed numerous projects to address the issue, including Project FORMATRAIN and Project Mar Adriatico.

Project FORMATRAIN – an acronym from FORMAtion and TRAINing � assists investigators with information on vehicle and document identification, investigative strategies, techniques and tools, databases, legal preconditions, etc. The aim of the project is to create a standardized training program to facilitate investigations of international cases of vehicle theft through basic, intermediate and advanced courses; to train the trainers; and to take advantage of Interpol's global network to share expertise. Representatives from Australia, Belgium, Finland, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Zimbabwe have attended working group meetings.

The first training course was hosted by the Finnish National Police School in 2003. The second training took place November 2007 in West Africa in cooperation with the NCB Wiesbaden. It was offered one week training in French language in Cotonou/Benin where law enforcement officers from Benin, Cote d�Ivoire and Gabon were trained. The second session in English language took place in Abuja/Nigeria, where law enforcement officers from Nigeria, Togo, Ghana and Liberia were trained.

INTERPOL is the largest international police organization in the world INTERPOL is the largest international police organization in the world. It was set up in 1923 to facilitate cross-border criminal police cooperation and today has 186 member countries spread over five continents. It supports and assists all organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime

One of INTERPOL's most important tasks is to place member countries on alert about people who are being sought by police forces worldwide but it is a member country's domestic police who request that they be placed on the INTERPOL wanted list and it is domestic police who, for the most part, must track and arrest them.

INTERPOL is the sum of its constituent parts, but the General Secretariat in Lyon is the essential co-ordinating mechanism that gives its members access to international databases of criminal information as well as a global view on specific crimes, patterns and trends.

INTERPOL's General Secretariat in Lyon, France, provides a fast and reliable communication system that links police around the globe. Its priority activities concern public safety and terrorism, criminal organizations, drug-related crimes, financial and high-tech crime, trafficking in human beings, and fugitive investigation support. But INTERPOL's staff, many of them police officers seconded to Lyon from police forces around the world, also provide a range of crucial services in other areas of criminal investigation and crime prevention.
