Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) increasingly challenges national law enforcement by exploiting jurisdictional boundaries, making international police cooperation an essential component of security governance. As the world's largest international police organization, INTERPOL facilitates cooperation through the Red Notice mechanism, enabling member states to locate and provisionally arrest fugitives for extradition or surrender. Employing quantitative research, descriptive statistical analysis, and content analysis techniques, this study measures the effectiveness of INTERPOL Red Notices by comparing the number of notices issued with fugitives apprehended and handed over. Content analysis examines legal documents, institutional reports, interview findings, and scientific literature to identify the legal, procedural, and institutional factors influencing Red Notice implementation in Indonesia. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of INTERPOL Red Notices cannot be measured solely by the number of notices issued but by their ability to produce successful fugitive handovers. Although INTERPOL provides an institutional platform for information sharing and cross-border police cooperation, implementation remains constrained by domestic legal frameworks, extradition arrangements, and institutional coordination. This study argues that Red Notice effectiveness is determined by the interaction between international institutional cooperation and domestic enforcement capacity.
