red notices
International arrest requests
Red notices are international alerts issued by Interpol requesting that law enforcement worldwide locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition.
They're not arrest warrants themselves but function as requests for cooperation between member countries: He fled to Brazil, but there's a red notice out for him.
The name comes from the color-coded system Interpol uses for different types of alerts.
- extraditionsSurrendering fugitives to authorities
- border crossingTransit between sovereign territories
- fugitiveOne fleeing authorities
- alertWarning or watchfulness
- apprehensionNervous anticipation of trouble
