Measured over 9 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 3, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 250 interactions against 345K followers, an engagement rate of 0.072%. Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 59% of 6,874 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 12K times each, and 2.08% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.49% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 9 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.1K interactions, about 12x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
INTERPOL's engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 69% 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 0.072%, INTERPOL sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,128 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.016% to 0.1%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday 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 | 33% 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.
- 33% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 606 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.

🚨 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

🚨 INTERPOL has seen a significant increase in the number of identified victims of child sexual exploitation in recent years. In the first seven months of 2026, nearly 5,800 new victims have been identified through INTERPOL's International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE) database. In 2025, we saw the largest annual increase in identifications since ICSE’s creation in 2011. This increase reflects global efforts to combat child sexual exploitation, including: 🔵 The creation of dedicated national victim identification units 🔵 Expanded victim identification task forces 🔵 Stronger cross-border coordination But these efforts tell only part of the story. The rise in victim identifications is also linked to a growing number of cases involving children who are coerced, manipulated or sextorted into producing self-generated abuse material. These cases often generate large volumes of media per victim, increasing the likelihood of detection. INTERPOL's Crimes Against Children unit works to: 🔵 Locate and safeguard child victims 🔵 Block access to child sexual abuse material 🔵 Identify offenders Read more: https://t.co/BmcBNA8i2T

Measured over 9 original posts, its engagement rate beats 59% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

- What is INTERPOL's engagement rate on X?
- INTERPOL (@INTERPOL_HQ) has an engagement rate of 0.072%, based on the median interactions across 9 original posts from the last 30 days against 345,263 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.072%, INTERPOL sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,128 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 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.4 posts per day across the measured window.
