A. Tun Policing System

A system of policing emerged during the Anglo-Saxon period whereby all male residents wererequired
to guard the town (tun) to preserve peace and protect the lives and properties of the people. About 700
AD, the people living in England in small rural towns used the Anglo-Saxon System. Ten families in a
town (tun) equaled a tithing. Each tithing elected a leader who was known as the Tithingman. Since 10
tithings amounted to 100, the leader of the 100 families was named the reeve. Both the tithingman and
reeve were elected officials. They possessed judicial power as well as police authority.

one could questions his or her actions. Two“Constabuli” or“The Keeper of the Horse” were appointed to
each village to aid the Rieve in his duties. It became the source of the word Constable. The term“Shire-
Rieve” is said to be the origin of the word“ Sheriff

INTERPOL’s FOUR CORE FUNCTIONS

1. Secure Global Police Communications Services

INTERPOL developed the I-24/7 global police communications system to exchange crucial data quickly
and securely is a cornerstone of effective international law enforcement.

2. Operational Data Services and Databases for Police INTERPOL provides operational data services and
databases for police to fight international crime, police need access to information which can assist
investigations or help prevent crime. INTERPOL manages several databases, accessible to the INTERPOL
bureaus in all member countries through its I-24/7.

3. Operational Police Support Services

a. 24-Hour Support The Command and Co-ordination Centre

(CCC) operates round the clock in all of INTERPOL’s four official languages (English, French, Spanish and
Arabic) and serves as the first point of contact for any member country faced with a crisis situation.

b. Crisis Response and Major Events

In the event of a disaster or major crime, INTERPOL Response Teams or Disaster Victim Identification
teams composed of officers from the General Secretariat and member countries can be dispatched to
the scene within hours of an event.

c. International Alert System

An important component of INTERPOL’s operational police support is the notice system, of which the
Red Notice for wanted persons is the most well known. In addition to the six color-coded notices(Red,
Blue, Green, Yellow, Black and Orange), is the INTERPOL-United Nations Special Notice issued for groups
or individuals who are the targets of UN sanctions against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

d. Analyzing Crime Data

Criminal intelligence analysis is recognized by the law enforcement community as a valuable tool,
helping to provide timely warning of threats and operational police activities. INTERPOL contributes to

research and analysis on crime trends and with training courses in criminal analysis techniques.
