STEP 4: INTERPOL - last updated 26/04/04




• Interpol is the name for the international police
• This organisation works with police forces in all countries to try to catch drug traffickers, drug dealers and smugglers (as well as other criminals)
• It is made very difficult for the international police to catch people in the European Union because there are not the strict border controls and a person can easily travel from one country to another
• People have found ways of illegally entering and leaving a country. For example there are lots of little inlets along the coasts of Morocco and Spain where a small boat can smuggle parcels of cannabis.



How can their task of catching drug traffickers and smugglers be made easier?


QUESTION :Work out six ways of preventing cannabis smuggling.
