In contemporary world, international relations’ prevalent character, contrary to the expectations, is not conflict but cooperation. For states’ cooperation, a set of subjects like to decrease costs, to increase efficiency or to struggle against common threats can be effective. However, it must be accepted that states’ willingness to make cooperation may not be at the same level in almost all issues. It is seen that states are less willing to make cooperation especially in security issues. This is the fundamental reason of the fact that international police cooperation has not reached to the desired levels yet. The region where international police cooperation exists most intensively is Europe. As a result of a long and slow-moving process, European nations have taken a set of initiatives that enable and facilitate police cooperation among their selves. Doubtlessly, the sphere of mutual trust that the European integration process had created has also made a significant contribution for this. The developments that occurred after the establishment of European Union are especially important for police cooperation in Europe that had reached its eventual form in the framework of Europol. In this study the legal and institutional developments that contribute to this process are analysed.
