What is Interpol and how does ICE interact with it?
Interpol is the world’s largest international police organization, with 184 member countries. Created in 1923, it facilitates cross-border police cooperation, and supports and assists all organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime. Interpol aims to facilitate international police cooperation even where diplomatic relations do not exist between particular countries. ICE representatives serve as investigative points of contact between Interpol Washington and the 184 member countries of Interpol and the 50 state Liaison Bureaus. ICE representatives provide investigative assistance in all areas of law enforcement with an emphasis on ICE-related violations. ICE representatives provide a service to ICE field representatives and others requiring assistance in the international area.
