The first significant move towards creatin INTERPOL wis in 1914 at the First Internaitional Creeminal Polis Congress.

Efter the end o World War II in 1945, the organization wis revived as the Internaitional Creeminal Polis Organization bi European Allied offeecials frae Belgium, Fraunce, Scandinavie an the Unitit Kinrick.
