Police Cooperation

The fight against organised crime is an international challenge because there are no borders and there is no limit on criminals’ imagination when it comes to committing crimes.

The overall goal of the Police Cooperation Cooperation of EL PAcCTO is to strengthen the police services responsible for fighting organised crime.

To this end, actions will be carried out to achieve international police cooperation that optimises institutions’ operational capabilities in the fight against international criminal groups engaged in human, drugs, weapon or cultural asset trafficking, among others.
