Who enters records into the Foreign Fugitive File for persons wanted in other countries?

The Foreign Fugitive File contains records of individuals who are wanted for crimes in their home countries, and the responsibility for entering records into this file lies with INTERPOL. INTERPOL, or the International Criminal Police Organization, serves as a facilitator for international police cooperation. It maintains a network that allows member countries to share information about fugitives, including those who are wanted by their national law enforcement agencies.

When a country identifies a fugitive who has crossed borders or who may be in another member country, it can work through INTERPOL to have their record entered into the Foreign Fugitive File. This helps in alerting law enforcement agencies worldwide, facilitating the tracking and apprehending of individuals wanted internationally. Although the FBI, Homeland Security, and ICE play integral roles in national security and law enforcement within the United States, they are not responsible for entering records into the Foreign Fugitive File, which is specifically managed through the framework established by INTERPOL.
