Contrary to the way Interpol is depicted on TV and in the movies, it is not a police agency in itself. Interpol is an a network of member police agencies around the world that can assist one another in criminal investigations. For instance, a police department in the United States might want the French Gendarme to check an address to see if a witness was living there. They would make this request through the U.S. Interpol liaison (an office of the FBI), which would then forward it to the equivalent French liaison. The French liaison would then pass the request to the appropriate police station in France, and the resulting information would come back the same way. There are no Interpol agents or officers, and no Interpol arrest warrants.
