Contrary to the Hollywood image of INTERPOL, the General Secretariat does not send officers on undercover assignment. All investigations and arrests are carried out by national police in their own country.
The General Secretariat employs around 1,000 staff members from 100 different countries. Approximately one-third are police officers deployed by their governments while two-thirds are international civil servants recruited by the Organization.
