Interpol is an international police agency that helps other law-enforcement agencies track criminals who operate across national borders -- but how does it work, exactly? Join the guys as they delve into the world of global law enforcement.
# Summary
In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating and surprisingly complex world of Interpol, the international police organization that coordinates crime-fighting efforts across nearly 190 countries. They explore how Interpol actually works as a liaison and information hub rather than a global police force with arrest powers, discover the color-coded notice system used to alert authorities about everything from missing persons to imminent threats, and learn about some of their major successes in busting international crime rings. The hosts also uncover some uncomfortable truths about Interpol's controversial history during World War II, including its connections to Nazi leadership, and discuss modern debates about the organization's immunity and oversight in the United States.
