Interpol General Secretariat

The Interpol General Secretariat is the central administrative hub of the International Criminal Police Organization. Located in Lyon, France, it manages day-to-day operations, coordinates global law enforcement efforts, and supports member countries in crime prevention and investigation. The Secretariat acts as a communication center, providing secure channels for sharing information about criminals and crimes across nations. It does not have authority to make arrests but facilitates international cooperation, helping police worldwide work together effectively to combat crimes like terrorism, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.
