Very much so, Interpol is the world’s largest international police organization, with 186 member countries. Created in 1923, it facilitates cross-border police co-operation, and supports and assists all organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime
there is also an agency called Europol.
based in The Hague, Netherlands
Europol (the name is a contraction of European Police Office) is the European Union's criminal intelligence agency.

Most powerfull and effective International Police force today.
They like to keep in the background.
This keeps and affords them whom they are.
Headquartes of Interpol are located in Lyon France

Interpol is still operating but only in discreet operations and their activities are not relayed to media. The local police are the ones being credited of their operations to avoid being detected by syndicates.

Yes, they are still operating. They don't have much involvement here in the U.S., and that is why you don't hear much, if anything about them.

Why yes they are. They are simply a conduit for countries to communicate through so as to capture fugitives from justice. Why......are you hiding?
