INTERPOL stands for International Criminal Police Organization. INTERPOL assists and supports partner countries in fighting crime by providing a range of services such as secure global police communications, data services, operational assistance, training, and capacity building programs.
INTERPOL is maintained by its member countries, which currently total 194. Member countries are represented by National Central Bureaus, typically housed within the country's national police force.
A "red notice" issued by INTERPOL is a request to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition. It is not an international arrest warrant, but rather a tool to help member countries track down fugitives.
To have a job with INTERPOL, a candidate must meet specific requirements such as being a citizen of a member country, have at least high school education, pass a written examination, have a minimum of three years of professional experience in law enforcement or a related field, and be proficient in at least one of INTERPOL's official languages. Other requirements may vary depending on the specific job position.
