**Interpol** (International Criminal Police Organization) is the world's largest international police cooperation organization, connecting law enforcement authorities from **196 member countries** to combat transnational crime[2][5]. Established in **1923** in Vienna and now headquartered in Lyon, France, Interpol facilitates global police collaboration through data sharing, investigative support, and training, focusing on major crime areas such as **terrorism, cybercrime, organized crime, drug trafficking, political corruption, and crimes against humanity**[1][2]. Interpol is not a law enforcement agency itself but functions as a **coordinating body** that enables police around the world to cooperate by providing access to criminal databases and a secure global communications network called **I-24/7**[1][2]. Each member country operates a National Central Bureau (NCB), staffed by national police, serving as the liaison between local law enforcement and Interpol’s General Secretariat[2][5]. Governance is conducted by the **General Assembly**, comprising representatives from all member countries, which meets annually to set policy and elect the Executive Committee and President (currently Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi from the UAE)[1][6]. The **General Secretariat**, led by Secretary-General Valdecy Urquiza, manages day-to-day operations with about 1,000 staff from over 100 countries[1][2]. Interpol’s key achievements include its role in coordinating multinational operations such as **Operation Serengeti 2.0**, which recently arrested over 1,200 cybercriminals across Africa, reflecting its growing emphasis on **cybersecurity and innovation**[7][8]. Its **Strategic Framework 2022-2025** focuses on enhancing global law enforcement capacity through innovation, partnerships, and adaptability to emerging threats like cybercrime and environmental security[3]. Notable aspects of Interpol include strict political neutrality, multilingual operations (Arabic, English, French, Spanish), an
