National Central Bureaus

National Central Bureaus (NCBs) are official offices in each country that serve as the main contact points for international police cooperation. Their role is to facilitate communication and the exchange of information among countries' law enforcement agencies, especially regarding criminal investigations, crime prevention, and legal cooperation. NCBs help coordinate efforts across borders, ensuring smooth handling of transnational crimes such as drug trafficking, terrorism, and human trafficking. They work with global organizations like INTERPOL, providing a vital link for international policing, supporting the enforcement of laws, and maintaining security across nations.
