In Baden-Württemberg, a new training cycle for police officers begins. On October 1, 2024, the starting signal for more than 930 students is given to the University of Police in Villingen-Schwenningen. This includes both young professionals and experienced forces who want to expand their qualifications. Interior Minister Thomas Strobl emphasized that this diverse, contemporary training is indispensable in order to meet the challenges of a constantly changing profession.

Among the 930 new students are 484 young young professionals who are now studying after an intensive nine and a half month of training. The range of courses enables candidates to concentrate on certain disciplines at an early stage. The areas include the "protective police", the "criminal police" and the IT investigations in the "criminal police", which creates a clear structure for the later professional career.

In addition to the new beginners, the police also have experienced officials in their program. The 446 participants of the experience -based course that already worked in the middle police enforcement service expand their knowledge and skills after their work at work. This educational measure, which is offered over three theory semesters, enables students to work actively in their police departments after a year and a half.

A special focus on the police studies on the inclusion of women. In the 47th course of study, 229 women are among the prospective police officers, which is a share of over 47 percent. The proportion of women is also 28 percent in the experience -based course, with 126 students. Interior Minister Strobl recognized the need to make police work inclusive and more diverse in order to promote a modern job profile.

"I wish all participants a lot of joy and success. Use the diverse offers of the University of Police for Personal and Vocational training," concluded the Interior Minister. Changes in training and qualification are crucial in order to meet the requirements of modern police work, as well as can be found in the report by IM.Baden-wuerttemberg.de .
