in 1923, a second international criminal police congress was held in vienna, on the initiative of mr. hans schober, president of the austrian police. schober, eager to avoid the politics that doomed previous international police efforts, noted that ""ours is not a political but a cultural goal. it only concerns the fight against the common enemy of humankind: the ordinary criminal."" this second congress created the international criminal police commission (icpc), which served as the direct forerunner of interpol. founding members included police officials from russia, austria, germany, belgium, poland, china, egypt, france, greece, hungary, italy, the netherlands, romania, sweden, switzerland and yugoslavia. in 1926, the icpc's general assembly, held in berlin, proposed that each country establish a central point of contact within its police structure: the forerunner of the national central bureau (ncb). in 1938, the nazis assumed control of the icpc and most countries stop participating, effectively causing the icpc to cease to exist as an international organization.
