The first ever Metaverse specifically designed for law enforcement worldwide.
Interpol metaverse will allow users to visit a virtual replica of the Interpol headquarters.
The first-ever Metaverse specifically intended for “law enforcement worldwide” was introduced by International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) at the 90th Interpol General Assembly in New Delhi. Prominent police officers from its 195 members attended the general assembly from October 18 to October 21.
How the Interpol Metaverse Works?
Interpol is getting ready to tackle an ever-growing list of criminal violations in the Metaverse by equipping its virtual reality headsets. According to a statement made on October 20, the Interpol metaverse is a fully functional platform that enables registered users to interact with other officers via their avatars.
Interpol metaverse will allow users to visit a virtual replica of the Interpol General Secretariat headquarters in Lyon, France, without any physical or regional limits, and even enroll in immersive training programs in forensic investigation and other crime control abilities.
Offenses against children, data theft, money laundering, financial fraud, counterfeiting, ransomware, phishing, and sexual assault and harassment might all be added to the list of potential crimes in the future.
Furthermore, Interpol made plans to create a division to prevent cryptocurrency crime. However, Some of the threats were likely to provide severe difficulties because not all acts that are illegal in the real world are also unlawful in the virtual world.
Jürgen Stock, the secretary general of Interpol stated earlier that the absence of a legal framework for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) presents difficulties for law enforcement organizations. Moreover, Jürgen Stock, underlined the need for the unit because many law enforcement organizations are now inadequately handling the complexity of the crypto industry.
