NCB in Interpol
The organization known to the world as Interpol has sometimesbeen described as an outfit of chisel-jawed gimlet-eyed crimefighters who put their lives in jeopardy every working hour. Lessflatteringly, Interpol has also been described as a huge filingcabinet, stuffed with clerks choking on their own statistics.
As with most generalities, there is some truth in both statements. There are, certainly, some grimbattlers of crime to be found working with Interpol. There are, just as surely, those drones shufflingmountains of paper whose cheeks are sallow from indoor life. Consider the charisma of the namealone: INTERPOL, the international police force. Continents leaped in a single bound, oceanscrossed in the space of a breath, villains watched by eyes that never sleep. Surprisingly, a lot of ithappens almost that way.
Four groups coordinate and direct the activities of Interpol. One of them is the National CentralBureaus, or NCBs, bodies designated by the member nations to serve as their link with Interpol.These are the front-line troops, the action people. IN the United States, the Treasury Departmentis the National Central Bureau. In the United Kingdom, it is Scotland Yard; the Questura in Italy andthe Melbourne City Police in Australia. Because police organization varies from country, the NCBswere established to act as the one special group to handle Interpol chores and unsure maximumcooperation between nations. Each NCB is usually an official government body with police powers ifa country has only one central police authority, that body becomes the National Centre Bureau. Ofcourse, any service appointed as an NCB is bound to its nation’s law and authority and retains itsnational title.
Each NCB is connected by radio to the regional station for its geographic zone. The regionalstations are connected to the Central Station in France. The radio network is versatile. Networkstations can monitor the Central station or any regional station. Because of this messages can bebroadcast to more than one station at a time. A coding system determines the urgency of eachmessage so that those with high priority can be given precedence. Besides, other communicationtools, such as radio-teleprinters and phototelegraphy equipment. Permit rapid transfers offingerprints and photographs. Sometimes ever more advanced technology is employed. When thepolice all over the world were looking for a Canadian named George Leray, they turned to the EarlyBird Satellite. Leray had led his gang on a daring holdup of a Montreal bank and gotten away with$4 million. Scotland Yard broadcast Leray’s photo to the world by satellite. An American who sawthe picture in Florida recognized Leray as a man who was living on a yacht in Fort Lauderdaleunder an assumed name. The police were alerted and arrested Leray.
