interpol

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'solvers worldwide' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'let rip on cryptic' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' indicates an anagram (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'let'+'rip'+'on'='letripon'
'letripon' with letters rearranged gives 'INTERPOL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for interpol that I've seen before include "Multinational crime fighters" , "International police force" , "Forces cooperating" , "crime unit" , "Law enforcers" .)
