Abstract: The article is devoted to problems of international legal relations regulation in the field of cooperation between law enforcement authorities. The principal focus is laid particularly on police cooperation that gives the edge in countering the current challenges to national and global security. The meaning of such cooperation as an object of international legal regulation is given a thorough analysis. The main perspectives of implementing the international police cooperation are determined in view of the existing threats to the security environment as well as by taking into account the transboundary nature of criminal behavior. The process structure of the international legal relations regulation in the sphere of police cooperation is addressed. It is shown that such regulation is based on the needs of the countries’ national security, but with due regard to national legislation. The latter settles two problems outright: preventing the restriction of national sovereignty and ensuring maximum legality in the criminal prosecution process. The character and emphasis of international legal relations regulation in the sphere of police cooperation were determined. It is emphasized that such regulation includes separate methods of international, administrative and criminal procedural law. Thus, it is concluded that the development of a separate branch of law is a prerequisite, especially in the legal doctrine of international police law. This will ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of international law in the national legal system.
