At present, only the public security organs are involved in Interpol business in China, but the public security and public security departments in a few border provinces are not involved in Interpol. The salary level of Interpol is not much different from that of most domestic police, except that Interpol has more opportunities to go abroad to perform tasks, and there will be some subsidies accordingly.
Interpol's funds mainly come from two sources: membership fees and voluntary contributions. At present, membership dues account for about half of Interpol's income; Among them, the United States is a big investor.
In addition, the organizational structure of Interpol can be roughly divided into four types:
The general meeting of members is the highest authority, which holds 1 plenary meeting every year, and has the highest power to handle planning, membership management and other affairs. Similar to the United Nations, the Executive Committee is composed of representatives of Member States. The General Secretariat is responsible for coordinating activities among member States; The National Central Bureau is an institution where police sent by various countries are stationed.
Then in addition, about Interpol, you may not know the following points:
First, Interpol is an organization, not a position.
Although it is nominally called Interpol, there is actually no Interpol position in the world.
Compared with the police and Interpol, Interpol does not exist at all. The police is the full name of the people's police, which is unique to China. In foreign countries, police are called police, but there is no police name. Interpol is a policeman who specializes in criminal cases, which is also the name of China.
Therefore, for foreign police, it is a title, and there is no such thing as Interpol. Because he is only an organization, not a position, we often see those who call themselves Interpol in Hong Kong films, which is actually incorrect. They can only say that they are policemen working in Interpol.
Second, Interpol is not as powerful as the police, but a cooperation platform with no real power.
Interpol was established mainly to facilitate communication and mutual assistance in transnational cases. The police of this organization have no law enforcement power. Although the surface is shiny, in fact, Interpol is not responsible for other follow-up work except communicating with other countries' police.
The most common thing Interpol does is to issue arrest warrants to fugitives in transnational cases and regional peacekeeping. As for whether to catch the escaped prisoner or not, it depends on how the criminal police deal with the criminals.
For example, when an American fled to another country to commit a crime, the American police contacted Interpol for cooperation, but after the American police caught the fugitive, there was nothing they could do. Interpol could only do auxiliary cooperation. No matter how wronged the criminal is, Interpol can't help it as long as the American police don't handle it.
