Prüm

Prüm refers to the Prüm Treaty, an agreement signed in 2005 by several European countries to enhance cooperation in law enforcement by sharing information on criminal records, DNA profiles, and fingerprint data. The treaty aims to improve the ability of police forces to tackle cross-border crime, such as terrorism and human trafficking. It allows member states to quickly access and exchange crucial data, facilitating faster investigations and improving public safety across Europe. Over time, the Prüm framework has influenced EU legislation, promoting broader collaborative efforts among member states in combating crime.
