Abstract
On a daily basis, police services from countries with different legal traditions and diverse criminal justice systems exchange legal documents and criminal intelligence for the purpose of tackling transnational and international crime or to locate individuals. This is international police cooperation in a nutshell, an articulated phenomenon riddled with complexities and legal challenges. And yet, when compared with other fields, international police cooperation is an area of research traditionally overlooked by legal scholars, practitioners, and experts alike. This article wants to stimulate a reflection on what is, or should be, the role and the nature of legal research in the field of international police cooperation. This article does not aim to be comprehensive, nor to provide a definitive guide on how to conduct legal research. Instead, it focuses on what aspects of legal research can be beneficial for the study and the betterment of international police cooperation.
