The man who actively founded Interpol started as a policeman in the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a young man and quickly made his way into the upper ranks.As he did so ,he encouraged the gathering of records of criminals of many different nations.
In 1918, he was made head of the Vienna police,but just then,the treaty ending World War I split the empire into several different independent countries.He remained in the new Austria and encouraged the police to accept the new government.
In 1921,Schober was elected prime minister of Austria,but he held the position for few months only.When he helped form the International Criminal Police Commission(ICPC) in 1923, the Austrian international records became the core of the new organization's criminal records.
