International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), abbreviated as International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO). Founded in 1923 as the Interpol Commission, it is headquartered in Vienna, the capital of Austria. During World War II, the organization moved to Berlin, the capital of Germany, and was once controlled by the ** organization. After World War II, the criminal police of the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and the Scandinavian countries formed new organizations, which continued to bear the original name of the "Interpol Commission". In 1956, the organization changed its name to Interpol, and in 1989, the organization's headquarters moved to Lyon, France.

Due to the need for INTERPOL to remain politically neutral, it does not intervene in any political, military, religious or racial crimes, nor does it intervene in non-transnational crimes. Its goal is to put the safety of the population first and to investigate terrorism, organised crime, narcotics, arms smuggling, human smuggling, money laundering, child pornography, high-tech crime and corruption.

INTERPOL holds an annual General Assembly and regularly holds various international or regional seminars. The organization maintains a close relationship with the National Central Bureaus of various countries on a day-to-day basis and organizes international pursuits. A "red notice" is an urgent and expedited notice used by the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) in the fight against international crime.
