The international policing organization Interpol is unveiling the first metaverse designed for law enforcement communication.
According to a new Interpol press release, The Interpol Metaverse is already developed and it enables police offers around the globe to communicate with one another and “take immersive training courses in forensic investigation and other policing capabilities.”
The Interpol Metaverse also offers virtual tours of a copy of the INTERPOL General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, France.
The project is part of the international policing organization’s efforts to adapt as crime migrates to digital spaces. Interpol notes potential crimes in the metaverse could involve data theft, money laundering, financial fraud, counterfeiting, ransomware, phishing, sexual assault and harassment and crimes against children.
Says Madan Oberoi, Interpol’s executive director of technology and innovation,
“By identifying these risks from the outset, we can work with stakeholders to shape the necessary governance frameworks and cut off future criminal markets before they are fully formed. Only by having these conversations now can we build an effective response.”
Interpol has recently made headlines in the crypto world after the policing organization placed a “red notice” on embattled Terra (LUNA) founder Do Kwon.
A red notice is a request to law enforcement worldwide to “locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender or similar legal action.”
Kwon has been accused by South Korean authorities of running a “Ponzi fraud,” namely with Terra-based decentralized finance platform Anchor Protocol (ANC), which was offering investors of algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) returns of approximately 20%. Do Kwon remains at large.
