ENSP signs partnership agreement with CEPOL to provide learning opportunities for law enforcement officers across Europe

The EU Agency trains more than 30,000 officials every year for Law Enforcement Training with the support of its partners.

ENSP (France National Police College) has signed a partnership agreement with the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) to contribute to the implementation of law enforcement training activities and learning products for the period of 2021-2024

ENSP, France National Police College, provides superintendents and police officers with initial training and career development support. The college has also a research and higher education mandate. ENSP regularly hosts international seminars and conferences.

ENSP has been selected, together with other 55 organisations and training research institutions across 27 EU Member States, following a call for framework partners launched in May.

Commissaire général William MARION, ENSP acting director said: «The renewal of this partnership agreement allows ENSP to pursue the fruitful cooperation with CEPOL and further promotes our police training and research expertise beyond national borders.”

Through continuous and effective cooperation with the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training, ENSP will provide support in the implementation of a specialized training offer available to more than 1.5 million law enforcement officers in the European Union. In 2019, CEPOL trained, with the help and support of its partners, more than 34,000 officers on issues stemming from European Union priorities in the field of security, and in particular serious and organised crime.

CEPOL is the European Union Agency dedicated to develop, implement and coordinate training for law enforcement officials. CEPOL contributes to a safer Europe by facilitating cooperation and knowledge sharing among law enforcement officials of the EU Member States and partner countries and organisations.

CEPOL constantly strives to offer innovative and advanced training activities by integrating relevant developments in knowledge, research and technology and by creating synergies through strengthened cooperation with its partners.
