Police co-operation

Introductory website. As more and more Europeans take advantage of their rights to move freely around the European Union (EU) either for business or personal reasons, the need for greater cooperation between national police forces , customs services and legal systems is set to increase enormously.

Several measures have been put in place to help them work together quickly and efficiently.
