Operation Infra Hydra 2016 – about the ‘Infra’ investigative model (Michael O’Connell, INTERPOL)
Channel: INTERPOL
Date: 23/06/2016

Operation Hydra follows a model devised by INTERPOL known as Infra (International Fugitive Round-up and Arrest), first implemented in 2010.
This is a global approach to fugitive investigations that brings classic policing concepts to a modern environment.
Officers from several different countries work together on specific cases at the INTERPOL General Secretariat, sharing intelligence in a secure environment. They are able to draw on INTERPOL’s linguistic support as well as cyber and online capabilities to identify, track and trace the criminals.

Michael O’Connell is INTERPOL’s Director of Operational Support and Analysis
