INTERPOL
The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) is the largest international police organization in the world, and aims to connect police around the world with international databases and communication channels. Its origins date back to the 1914 International Criminal Police Congress in Monaco, though it was officially established in 1923 in Vienna as the International Criminal Police Commission in response to rising crime in Europe. Disrupted during World War II and briefly under Nazi control, the organization was re-established in 1946 in Paris and renamed INTERPOL in 1956. With this restructuring came the establishment of an elite telegraphic system, radio network, and publishing several periodicals that revolutionized international police communication. Over the decades, INTERPOL has embraced technological advancements, creating systems like the I-24/7 communications network to facilitate secure, rapid information sharing. Now headquartered in Lyon, France, INTERPOL has grown to 195 member countries, and mainly focuses on counter-terrorism, cybercrime, organized and emerging crime, and financial crime and corruption.
