What is the purpose of a Green Notice?

The purpose of a Green Notice is to warn law enforcement agencies about a person's criminal activity, particularly in relation to their potential threat to the public or to alert them of an individual who may pose a risk. Green Notices are typically issued to share information on individuals who have committed specific crimes or are known to have drawn attention due to their criminal activities.

This type of notice helps in tracking individuals who might attempt to commit similar offenses in different jurisdictions, making it a vital tool for international cooperation among police forces. By sharing this information, authorities can prevent further criminal acts and enhance public safety.

While notices regarding missing persons, captured criminals, or police training may also be important, they fall under different categories and functions distinct from the specific role that a Green Notice serves in the realm of law enforcement communication.
