In ''fiction'', Interpol acts more like [[Series/TheManFromUNCLE U.N.C.L.E.]] and sends agents (normally solo), who somehow have full power over local police, out to track down and capture international criminals. One reason for this trope is that [[SmallReferencePools everyone knows Interpol is "international police"]] and it avoids the need to create a group wholesale, even if that means fudging what they actually do. It may also be born out of a [[WeAllLiveInAmerica US-centric belief]], where federal agents can indeed [[JurisdictionFriction take over local investigations]] if they transcend the state level. Obviously, no such thing exists on a global level.
