Engagement
A typical post picks up 266 interactions against 347K followers, an engagement rate of 0.077%. Measured over 17 original posts, its engagement rate beats 66% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 2.39% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.21% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.9 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 17 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 53% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.1K interactions, about 12x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #crimecongress, #globalchemcongress.

Compared with accounts its own size
INTERPOL's engagement rate beats 66% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 72% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.077%, INTERPOL sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 53% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 53% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 476 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

🚨 Wanted by Sweden, arrested in the United Arab Emirates Authorities in the UAE have arrested the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice wanted by Sweden on money laundering charges. At the same time, Swedish police arrested six other members of the same network. Investigators believe the network handled around SEK 70 million over 10 months, collecting illicit proceeds and transferring them to other criminal actors through cryptocurrency. By tracing cryptocurrency transactions and analysing digital evidence, investigators also identified financial links to serious organized crime. An excellent example of international police cooperation 🤝

🚨 Police ‘hackathon’ identifies sexual exploitation on content subscription sites Seven European countries have joined forces for a four-day ‘hackathon’ to target a human trafficking threat on subscription-based content platforms. Typically the criminal groups involved in these schemes masquerade as legitimate modelling agencies, luring victims with promises of income. Once engaged, they take control of their accounts, applying psychological pressure and coercion to produce increasingly explicit content. This emerging modus operandi was the subject of an INTERPOL Purple Notice earlier this year. Operation CyberProtect III - generated dozens of new leads, including: 🔵 34 suspicious cases 🔵 18 suspect profiles 🔵 27 potential victims, including women, minors and vulnerable adults The operation was co-organized by INTERPOL and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). ➡️🔗 Read more: https://t.co/Al8PDE6c1H

- What is INTERPOL's engagement rate on X?
- INTERPOL (@INTERPOL_HQ) has an engagement rate of 0.077%, based on the median interactions across 17 original posts from the last 30 days against 347,023 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.077%, INTERPOL sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @INTERPOL_HQ have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 66% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @INTERPOL_HQ post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.9 posts per day across the measured window.
