Summary:

The International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO)- INTERPOL is the world’s largest international police organization. Its purpose is to enable cooperation on crime fighting and prevention matters worldwide. Congress authorized the United States to be an INTERPOL member in 1938 (22 U.S.C. 263a) and has long maintained interest in several aspects of INTERPOL’s activities, including its funding, governance and membership, the scope of its policing authorities, and the functioning of its system of international lookouts and advisories (e.g., Red Notices), through which members share law enforcement information.
