What is red diffusion?
The Red Diffusion Archive was Interpol's first database, originally created in analogue form.
🔴 The first red alert in history was issued in 1947. The objective was to try to find a Russian accused of murdering a police officer.
📑 The registration system was made up of cardboard cards classified by names (filed in both alphabetical and phonetic order), legal documents (such as personal data and vehicle registration numbers) and crimes (classified by type and location).
💾 In the 1980s, records were computerized. Currently, the organization has 19 databases available to police around the world, including fingerprints, DNA profiles, falsified documents and works of art, for example.
📋 In addition to "red diffusion" (the technical and official term), Interpol has several other signals – each with its specific purpose (and color). See them all in the infographic below:
