What is Interpol? – Interpol is crime
fighting organization, just like your local police department. Instead,
they help other member countries that need to co-operate by connecting
all members of Interpol by a network of files of criminals and cases if
any of Interpol’s 182 nations need them.
What do they
do? - Interpol records any information about something that was
in a criminal case, ex: information on criminals, type of crime,
vehicles, anything to help any police officer with information about a
certain crime.
Why
was Interpol created? -
No one is for
sure why it really got started, but it is said that the countries in
Europe needed a co-operation between countries. This was needed because
criminals would commit crimes in one county in Europe and then skip to
another country to avoid prosecution. Since Europe is a tightly packed
Continent, police didn’t have enough time to catch criminals, and the idea
was created.
How did Interpol get started? -
Interpol got
its roots from 14 countries in Europe in the 1914 in Monaco, but the
rest you will find in the
History page.
Interpol the
band - There is a band called Interpol from New York ( I am a
huge fan of the band). They are an alternative rock band with 2 full
length albums out, Turn on the bright lights and Antics, both great
albums. There are many stories as which how the band Interpol got there
name, but apparently the lead singer/ guitarist Paul Banks was teased by
his classmates saying "Paul, Paul, Interpol" ( I don't get it either).
Currently Interpol the organization doesn't mind about the band
Interpol, but there has been some rumors that an Interpol agent
approached the band at one of their concerts. You can watch some of the
band Interpol's videos for free at
