An INTERPOL notice is one issued by INTERPOL to share information between its members. There are seven types of notices, six of which are known by the colour in which the Interpol logo is printed, different colours denoting notices carrying different types of information.
Red Corner Notice:
An Interpol red notice is issued at the request of a country's law enforcement authority. The requesting country asks for a red notice to be issued when a criminal evades arrest and escapes from the country. Interpol's role is to assist the national police forces in identifying or locating those persons with a view to their arrest and extradition.
Two types of red notices can be issued:
1. Based on an arrest warrant and is issued for a person wanted for prosecution
2. Based on a court decision for a person wanted to serve a sentence.
Black Corner Notice:
The Black Corner Notice contains information related to unidentified dead bodies, specifically those related to individuals suspected to have died while using a false identity. This notice carries photographs of the dead body, time and circumstances related to its discovery, distinguishing features of the body, etc.
Blue Corner Notice:
It is an “International Request for Information Notice”. This notice is primarily used for tracing and locating a person when the decision to extradite has not yet been made. It may also be used to verify a person’s identity, to obtain particulars about his criminal record or to locate witnesses to criminal activity.
Green Corner Notice:
A Green Notice is an International Alert Notice that is used to provide warnings and criminal intelligence about persons who have committed criminal offenses, and are likely to repeat these crimes in other countries.
Yellow Corner Notice:
The Yellow Notice is an “International Missing Person Notice”. This notice is used to help locate missing persons, including children, or to help identify persons who may not be able to identify themselves such as a person suffering from amnesia.
Orange Corner Notice:
To warn police, public entities and other international organizations about potential threats from disguised weapons, parcel bombs and other dangerous materials.
INTERPOL-United Nations Special Notice:
Issued for groups and individuals who are the targets of UN sanctions against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. It was created in 2005 at the request of the UN Security Council. This is the only notice that is not issued with a coloured logo. When I enquired why, UN said they are against colour discrimination.A wonderful gesture indeed :-D.
Trivia:
