Notice Types
| Notice type | Details |
|---|---|
| Red Notice | Requests (provisional) arrest of wanted persons, with a view to extradition. An Interpol Red Notice is "the closest instrument to an international arrest warrant in use today." Interpol does not have the authority to issue arrest warrants in the formal sense of the word, as this is the domain of the sovereign member states. |
| Blue Notice | Requests additional information about a person in relation to a crime. |
| Green Notice | To provide warnings and criminal intelligence about persons who have committed criminal offences and are likely to repeat these crimes in other countries. |
| Yellow Notice | Asks for help locating missing persons (usually minors) or identifying people who are unable to identify themselves. |
| Black Notice | Seeks information on unidentified bodies. |
| Orange Notice | Warns police and other international organizations about potential threats from disguised weapons, parcel bombs, or other dangerous materials. |
| Purple Notice | To provide information on modus operandi, procedures, objects, devices and hiding places used by criminals. |
| Interpol-United Nations Security Council Special Notice | Issued for groups and individuals who are targets of UN sanctions against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. This was created in 2005 at the request of the UN Security Council through the adoption of resolution 1617 and implemented through the adoption of INTERPOL resolution AG-2005-RES-05. |

Famous quotes containing the words notice and/or types:
“If we notice a few errors in the work of a proven master, we may and even will often be correct; if we believe, however, that he is completely and utterly mistaken, we are in danger of missing his entire concept.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
