CEPOL Training Catalogue 2026

A portfolio suited to a wide range of learning styles and needs

The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) facilitates the prevention and fight against serious and organised crime, terrorism and emerging security threats by facilitating and enhancing cross-border cooperation through vocational training. Our mission is making Europe a safer place through law enforcement training and learning.

CEPOL has been working with national training institutes in the EU for more than two decades using learning as a lever to further strengthen law enforcement cooperation. A vast amount of CEPOL training activities is conducted with the support of national law enforcement bodies, EU Justice and Home Affairs’ agencies, EU institutions, international organisations, external experts and operationally active law enforcement personnel.

Our training and learning activities encourage the development of competencies that are vital for the internal security of the European Union, promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences, and support the development of long-lasting professional networks.

We provide opportunities to stay up to date with the latest developments and trends in the law enforcement field, especially concerning cross-border and serious and organised crime. We constantly strive to offer innovative and advanced training activities by integrating relevant developments in knowledge, research and technology, and by creating synergies through strengthened cooperation.

At CEPOL we apply a multi-layered approach to learning, and we offer different types of training activities and online learning resources complementing one another.

Law enforcement officials who would be interested to gain access to our training opportunities, whether onsite or online, must be registered users in LEEd, the agency’s Law Enforcement Education platform. 

The CEPOL Training Catalogue 2026 is a comprehensive summary of the currently available learning activities for this year. The information contained in this catalogue may be subject to change. We invite you to visit our website regularly for the latest updates on our upcoming onsite and online activities and get in touch with your local CEPOL National Unit / CEPOL National Contact Point for more details.

Combatting new forms of organised crime requires more cooperation between police and gendarmes, customs officers, border guards, judges, and prosecutors. EU institutions, agencies and Member States work together to tackle organised and serious international crime through a permanent and key instrument: the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT).

CEPOL plays a crucial role in the EMPACT mechanism through the provision of specialised training and the identification of training needs within each common security threat. Every year, CEPOL provides a comprehensive training package for each common EU crime priority consisting of onsite, online and exchange training activities.
