How is INTERPOL structured?
A. In addition to the headquarters (General Secretariat) in Lyon France, INTERPOL has five regional bureaus in Harare (Zimbabwe), Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Nairobi (Kenya), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and San Salvador (El Salvador), plus a liaison office in Bangkok (Thailand). These centers provide in-depth experience of regional crime issues and co-ordinate practical counter-crime operations between countries within the region. Each member country of INTERPOL also has a National Central Bureau (NCB) staffed by national law enforcement officers. The NCB is the designated contact point for the General Secretariat, regional bureaus and other member countries requiring assistance with overseas investigations.
