Interpol is more international Police association than an international police force its main goal is to assistance members countries battle crime, it does this by share information on crimes, wanted criminals ect.
Contrary to what you see in the movies and TV Interpol does not have field agents to quote the web site directly
"Approximately 800 staff members from 100 different countries are employed at the INTERPOL General Secretariat, Regional Bureaus and Liaison offices, working in any of the organization’s four official languages: Arabic, English, French and Spanish. A third of these are either seconded or detached by their national law enforcement administrations in INTERPOL’s 190 member countries; the remaining are international civil servants hired under contract directly by the organization."
So while you man work Interpol your still a member of your national police force, and you only assist local law enforcement.
Interpol HQ is in Lyon France, is it still intact?
