Interpol Public Safety & Terrorism Page Terrorism poses a grave threat to individuals’ lives and national security around the world. Interpol has therefore made available various resources to support member countries in their efforts to protect their citizens from terrorism, including bio-terrorism; firearms and explosives; attacks against civil aviation; maritime piracy; and weapons of mass destruction. Interpol collects, stores, analyses and exchanges information about suspected individuals and groups and their activities. The organization also co-ordinates the circulation of alerts and warnings on terrorists, dangerous criminals and weapons threats to police in member countries. A chief initiative in this area is the Fusion Task Force, which was created in the aftermath of the 11 September attacks in the United States.

Terrorists Strike Fast... Interpol has to Move Faster... Ron Noble ... Transforming Interpol from a clumsy, outdated agency into a sleek, modern force is an urgent, difficult -- indeed, noble -- mission. It is also a case study in change with life-and-death consequences -- and huge implications for U.S. security. The central strategic question is as simple as it is thorny: How do large, established, slow-moving bureaucracies battle an enemy that is fast, nimble, elusive, and widely dispersed? President Bush has been struggling with that question at the FBI, the CIA, and his proposed Department of Homeland Security. Ron Noble has the same problem but with an added twist: He has to work with countries from every corner of the globe.

Wired News: Interpol's Virus Site Too Fluffy? Computer viruses are often illegal immigrants of the worst kind, e-mailed anarchists that, unbound by international treaties or domestic laws, can sneak across borders easily and infect machines around the world in a matter of minutes. Given the global nature and effect of computer viruses, many experts believe that only an international partnership among security companies and law enforcement agencies would have any hope of stopping the ever-increasing threat of geopolitically disinterested viruses.

Interpol and the Policing of International Terrorism: Developments ... We present an analysis of the organization of counter-terrorist police strategies by the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol). Historically, Interpol has gradually developed anti-terrorist activities since the 1970s and radically expanded its strategies since the events of September 11. Analyzing these developments, it is shown that counter-terrorist strategies at the international level of cooperating police agencies are driven by concerns over an efficient management and exchange of information among police. The target of terrorism is thereby (re)defined in a language that can be shared among the world’s police institutions. As such, Interpol attempts to ‘de-politicize’ terrorism and strip it of its ideological connotations that create political divisions in the world. However, these efforts in Interpol and many of its member agencies to target terrorism as a crime may not necessarily harmonize with the political, diplomatic, and legal activities against terrorism conducted at the level of the governments of national states.
