Interpol

Cross-border law enforcement

Interpol is the International Criminal Police Organization, a body that facilitates cooperation among national police forces across nearly 200 countries.

It coordinates cross-border investigations, maintains databases of criminals and stolen property, and issues alerts for wanted persons.

Interpol has no agents who make arrests; it enables member countries to share intelligence: Interpol issued a red notice for the fugitive.
