Operational Police Support Services

a. 24-Hour Support
The Command and Co-ordination Centre(CCC) operates round the clock in all of
INTERPOL’s four official languages (English, French, Spanish and Arabic) and serves as the
first point of contact for any member country faced with a crisis situation.
b. Crisis Response and Major Events
In the event of a disaster or major crime, INTERPOL Response Teams or Disaster
Victim Identification teams composed of officers from the General Secretariat and member
countries can be dispatched to the scene within hours of an event.
c. International Alert System
An important component of INTERPOL’s operational police support is the notice
system, of which the Red Notice for wanted persons is the most well known. In addition
to the six color-coded notices (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black and Orange), is the
INTERPOL-United Nations Special Notice issued for groups or individuals who are the
targets of UN sanctions against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
d. Analyzing Crime Data
Criminal intelligence analysis is recognized by the law enforcement community as
a valuable tool, helping to provide timely warning of threats and operational police activities.
INTERPOL contributes to investigations by assisting officers working at the General
Secretariat and in member countries with research and analysis on crime trends and with
training courses in criminal analysis techniques.
