Talk:International Criminal Police Organization – Interpol

the article states: employed a staff of 384, representing 54 different countries. Of those, 112 were police officers, 112 civilians

so what are the other 160 staff? --dblandford 20:28, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Euro to USD exchange on this page appears to be extremely out of date. Maybe the exchange should be removed entirely, anyone wanting to see the amount in USD can just look up the current rates? I'm didn't put these statistics on here, so I'm not sure if that would cause an inaccuracy or even if the 30 million euro mark is still as accurate as it was then. I think the statistics should be dated. (I speak of this line: "...which total about EUR €30 million (USD $28 million).")

Confusion about relative size of international organizations
the article states:
 * Interpol is the world's second largest international organization, after the United Nations; it currently has 181 member countries. It is financed by annual contributions from its member countries, which total about EUR €30 million (USD $28 million). Interpol has €25 million when Europol has €50 million.

Does this mean that Interpol is actually the third largest int'l organization? What criteria is being used here? Andyabides 11:50, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Most probably the criteria is number of members. --Pouya 20:56, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Renaming
I propose that this article be moved to Interpol. Nobody calls it the International Criminal Police Organization; everyone calls it Interpol. It is by far the most common name. Interpol already redirects here. And no other uses of the word Interpol (bands deriving their names from it etc) are anywhere near as well-known as Interpol itself. -- Necrothesp 19:16, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
