Interpol
Interpol, short for the International Criminal Police Organization, is an international agency that facilitates cooperation among law enforcement agencies across countries to combat transnational crime. Founded in 1923, it helps police collaborate on investigations, share intelligence, and conduct operations against crimes such as human trafficking, drug smuggling, and cybercrime. Interpol issues notices, like the Red Notice, to alert member countries about wanted criminals, fostering global security and safety. While it does not have the authority to make arrests, it plays a crucial role in uniting police forces worldwide to address crime that crosses borders.

INTERPOL, or the International Criminal Police Organization, is a global network that facilitates police cooperation across countries. Founded in 1923, it helps police forces combat transnational crime, including terrorism, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and cybercrime. INTERPOL provides a platform for sharing information, issuing alerts (like "Red Notices" for wanted persons), and coordinating operations among its member countries, currently numbering 195. Importantly, it does not have its own law enforcement agents; rather, it supports national police forces in achieving their goals through collaboration and intelligence sharing.
