Our CEPOL Training Catalogue 2023 is now available online!

The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) has published its Training Catalogue 2023, a comprehensive summary of its current training offer, available to EU law enforcement officials for this year.

On this special occasion for the agency, CEPOL Executive Director, Montserrat Marín López noted:

I invite EU law enforcement officials to browse our Training Catalogue 2023 to get an overview of our work and the opportunities we have developed for them. I hope that within our Catalogue they will find activities that are interesting and useful for their work. I also encourage them to broaden their horizons by looking into new topics and training experiences. I would also like to take this opportunity, on behalf of all of us at CEPOL, to express my gratitude to our National Units and National Contact Points, as well as to all our partners, for their continuous support and cooperation. Their contributions are crucial for the successful delivery of numerous activities mentioned in our Training Catalogue 2023.

CEPOL training and learning activities encourage the development of competencies that are vital for the internal security of the Union, promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences, and support the development of long-lasting professional networks. Moreover, CEPOL activities provide opportunities to stay up-to-date with the latest European and international developments and trends in the law enforcement field, especially concerning cross-border and serious and organised crime.

CEPOL’s aim is to offer innovative and advanced training activities by integrating relevant developments in knowledge, research and technology, and by creating synergies through strengthened cooperation. The agency employs a multi-layered approach to learning, with different types of training activities and online learning resources complementing one another.

As part of its training portfolio, CEPOL also offers law enforcement officials the possibility to participate in an exchange programme (not included in the Training Catalogue). CEPOL Exchange Programme aspires to build long-term knowledge and confidence between police forces and other law enforcement bodies in the EU. Under this scheme, officials involved in operational cross-border cooperation are hosted by law enforcement institutions from another country, giving participants the chance to share good practices, exchange insights, build trust, initiate cooperation projects and foster deep and longlasting networking opportunities. The study period abroad can last up to one week.

To participate in CEPOL training activities, law enforcement officials must be registered users of CEPOL’s law enforcement education platform, LEEd. A valid LEEd account provides access to the full range of online learning resources for EU law enforcement officials, including communities of practice and access to the repository of professional e-Journals and e-books. Furthermore, they can visit our website to find out all about our upcoming activities and to get in touch with their local CEPOL National Unit / CEPOL National Contact Point.
