Answer 2

Interpol (or International Criminal Police Organization) was created in 1923 to assist international criminal police co-operation. Interpol, once merely the organization's telegraphic address, was officially incorporated into the organization's new name adopted in 1956, prior to which it was known as the International Criminal Police Commission.

Interpol is the world's third largest international organization, after the United Nations and FIFA; it currently has 186 member countries. It is financed by annual contributions of about €41.7 million from its member countries; Europol, by comparison, receives €63.4 million annually. The organization is headquartered in Lyon, France after moving from Saint Cloud, a town located in the vicinity of Paris. The currently serving president of Interpol is Mr. Jackie Selebi, commissioner of the South African Police Service. The current secretary general, Ronald K. Noble, formerly of the U.S. Treasury Department, is the first non-European to hold the position.

Because of the politically neutral role Interpol must play, its Constitution forbids any involvement in crimes that do not overlap several member countries, or any political, military, religious, or racial crimes. Its work focuses primarily on public safety and terrorism, organized crime,war crimes, illicit drug production and drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, trafficking in human beings, money laundering, child pornography, white-collar crime, high-tech crime, and corruption.

In 2005, the Interpol General Secretariat employed a staff of 502, representing 78 member countries. Women comprised 42 percent of the staff. The Interpol public web site - www.interpol.int - received an average of 2.2 million page visits every month.

Interpol was founded in Austria in 1923 as the International Criminal Police Commission. The organization came under control of Nazi Germany when Germany declared the Anschluss (political union between Germany and Austria). The staff and facilities of Interpol were utilized as an information gathering unit for the Gestapo, until the Nazi regime fell to Allied forces.

Senior military officials from Belgium, France, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom reorganized Interpol into today's organization.

One of Interpol’s most important functions is to help police in member countries share
critical crime-related information using its system of international notices. There are seven
kinds of notices, of which the most known is the Red Notice, an international request for the
provisional arrest of an individual, pending extradition.
