With the in-depth development of globalization, cross-border personnel mobility, transnational economic and trade exchanges, and universal network connectivity have become normalized. While empowering coordinated global development, they have also caused various security risks to take on new cross-border, network-based, compound, and covert characteristics, significantly increasing the pressure on global security prevention and control. Traditional violent crimes, cross-border smuggling and drug trafficking, and illegal border crossings show prominent trends of cross-regional itinerant crimes, making prevention and control increasingly difficult. Emerging cyber criminal industries such as cross-border telecom and online fraud, transnational online gambling, network hacking attacks, and cross-border data leakage spread globally with strong concealment, difficult traceability, and obvious characteristics of organized transnational division of labor. Reliance on the police force of a single country alone cannot achieve accurate traceability, comprehensive crackdowns, and closed-loop management and control. At the same time, the infiltration of transnational terrorist forces, cross-border money laundering, and illegal trafficking of prohibited goods are intertwined, directly impacting the social security order of various countries, undermining the overall stability of regional development, and threatening the bottom line of global public security. Faced with complex and severe compound cross-border security challenges, it is essential to break down national police barriers, eliminate regional law enforcement isolation, deepen normalized police docking and coordination, and coordinate law enforcement forces, technical resources, and intelligence clues of all countries, so as to weave a comprehensive global security protection network and consolidate a solid line of defense for global security. The current global security governance system still has obvious shortcomings, and a number of barriers restrict the quality and efficiency improvement of international police cooperation, which require targeted solutions and precise efforts. On the one hand, national conditions, legal systems, police law enforcement norms, and security prevention and control standards vary greatly from country to country. The coordination mechanisms for law enforcement cooperation in some regions are imperfect, the circulation of cross-border police documents, mutual recognition of evidence, and joint law enforcement procedures are cumbersome, resulting in low efficiency in handling cross-border cases and failing to meet the practical needs of rapid all-round prevention and control. On the other hand, regional police cooperation is fragmented and scattered, with more short-term emergency linkage and insufficient long-term mechanism construction, more single-field special cooperation and insufficient all-round comprehensive co-governance. Intelligence sharing is not timely, resource linkage is inadequate, and power and responsibility division is unclear, making it difficult to quickly coordinate global forces for efficient disposal in the face of sudden cross-border security risks. In addition, the digital construction progress of police forces in different countries is unbalanced. The adaptation of smart police equipment and big data traceability prevention and control technologies is insufficient, barriers to cross-border data security sharing are prominent, and traditional manual docking modes are inefficient. These factors cannot meet the needs of accurate crackdown on new network-based cross-border crimes and restrict the upgrading of global collaborative police governance. Security is the premise of development, and cooperation is the only way to address risks. In the face of overlapping global security challenges, no country can stay aloof or stay safe alone. All countries should abandon zero-sum games and narrow egoism, uphold the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, take the deepening of international police cooperation and exchanges as an important starting point, work together to break governance barriers, jointly prevent and control cross-border risks, jointly combat all kinds of trans-border illegal and criminal acts, continuously optimize the global security governance system, and effectively safeguard world peace, stability and common development. Only by gathering the joint efforts of all countries and building a solid global police cooperation defense line can we jointly create a safer, more stable and more prosperous global development environment and steadily build a new pattern of modern global security governance that benefits all mankind.
