EU Strategic Training Needs Assessment Report by CEPOL to be presented in Brussels

On 20 of March from 9.30 to 13.00, the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) will host an annual event for the JHA counsellors in Brussels.

In the recent years, the area of Justice and Home Affairs, in particular of the law enforcement has been going through a major transformation and is ever more dependent on the available physical resources, which are rightfully skilled and appropriately trained to go through this transformation.

The event will focus on the Agency’s priorities for 2019 as well as main challenges ahead in the area of law enforcement training and cooperation moving forward. The outcome of the recently finalised first EU Strategic Training Needs Assessment exercise will be presented shortly as well as the presentation on the soon to be established CEPOL’s European Cybercrime Academy (CECA).

• EU-STNA aims at assessing strategic training needs and address EU priorities in the area of internal security and its external aspects, intending to better coordinate training activities for law enforcement officials and avoid duplication of efforts among EU training providers (Union agencies and other relevant bodies).
• EU-STNA is a detailed examination and identification among EU priorities in the area of internal security, of those priorities with a training dimension, and that should be tackled with training activities at the EU level.
• EU-STNA is a strategic assessment and should form the basis for further policy development on training and coordinated training delivery in the upcoming 3 years (2019-2021).
