Interpol Procedures in the Caribbean – A Guide by Cosmos Legal Law Firm
1. What is Interpol and How Does it Operate in the Caribbean?
Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) is an entity that combats international crime and facilitates cross-border tracking of criminals. It has more than 195 member countries.
Countries in the Caribbean are Interpol members, and each country manages its operations through a National Central Bureau (NCB). These units coordinate with national police and judicial authorities, supporting international legal assistance and criminal investigations.
