Stay Safe
You might think transnational, organized crimes belong to another world, far from your own.
In reality, they can affect you on a day-to-day level, without you even being aware.
But there is a lot you can do to protect yourself and your family. Not only can you increase your level of safety but you will also help reduce the profits being driven into organized crime.
If You Need Help
Always contact your local police
Even if the crime you wish to report is international in nature, you should still approach your local police.
Investigations and arrests are always carried out by national and local police forces. Our role is to help your national police to communicate with police in other countries to solve international crimes.
So we deal mostly with information provided by police, not the public.
Get in touch with the police in your country if:
- you are a victim of a crime that you think comes from another country;
- you have information about a crime that has been committed or is being planned;
- you wish to report a missing person who you think may be in another country.
Once you have reported a crime, the police in your country can access INTERPOL’s services and databases if needed.
Please do not attempt to report crimes on our social media pages.
