The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) he said the launch of its fully operational metaverse, originally designed for activities such as immersive training courses for forensic investigations. 
Unveiled at Interpol's 90th General Assembly in New Delhi, the Interpol Metaverse is described as the "world's first Metaverse designed specifically for law enforcement".
Among other things, the platform will help law enforcement agencies around the world interact with each other through avatars.
“To many, the Metaverse seems to herald an abstract future, but the issues it raises are those that have always motivated Interpol — supporting our member countries to fight crime and make the world, virtual or otherwise, safer for those who inhabit it ” said Jurgen Stock, Secretary General of Interpol.
One of the challenges that experts have identified is that something that is considered a crime in the physical world may not necessarily be in the virtual world.
"By identifying these risks early on, we can work with stakeholders to put in place the necessary governance frameworks and cut off future criminal markets before they are fully formed," said Madan Oberoi, Interpol's executive director of Technology and Innovation.
In a live demonstration at the event, Interpol experts took to a Metaverse classroom to deliver a training course on verifying travel documents and screening passengers using the platform's capabilities.
The students were then teleported to an airport where they could apply their new skills at a virtual border point. In addition, Interpol has created a group of experts tasked with ensuring that new virtual worlds are "secure by design".
The Decrypt he says that Interpol has joined “Defining and Building the Metaverse”, a World Economic Forum initiative around the governance of the Metaverse.
