A Blue Notice is issued to achieve what goal?

A Blue Notice is specifically designed to assist in locating or identifying a person of interest. This type of notice is used when authorities need assistance in gathering more information about an individual who is wanted for questioning or is of interest in a case, rather than for arrest purposes. The goal is to notify law enforcement agencies across different jurisdictions to help track down the whereabouts of the individual.

This notice does not involve the authority or power to arrest someone directly, nor is it primarily intended to alert countries about high-profile criminals or transmit warning alerts, which align with the purposes of other notices within law enforcement frameworks.
