encourage the member countries to use it.
Conclusion
We hope by reading this document that the reader now has an insight into the workings of the

it needs to be used. INTERPOL fully supports the exchange of Forensic data between member
countries either bilateral or by various regional services, in conclusion INTERPOL AFIS is just one
of many possibilities however it is one that should always be used.
