ERA signs partnership agreement with CEPOL to provide learning opportunities for law enforcement officers across Europe
More than 30,000 officials are trained every year by the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training with the support of its partners.
Trier, 23 of November 2020
ERA 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.
ERA has been selected, together with 55 other organisations and training research institutions across 27 EU Member States, following a call for framework partners launched in May.
“We are happy to continue our fruitful cooperation with CEPOL under this new partnership agreement to offer training for EU law enforcement. Both organisations share the common goal of promoting and enhancing police and judicial cooperation through proficient training in all Member States of the European Union. ERA has, since its formation, developed a thriving network of legal practitioners on a national and European level and is honoured by the possibility to further cooperate with CEPOL on that matter.
Through continuous and effective cooperation with the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training, ERA 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.
The Academy of European Law (ERA) is a non-profit public foundation based in Trier, Germany which is supported by the EU and whose patrons include the 27 Member States and the UK. Our mission is to provide practitioners of law – judges, prosecutors, notaries and lawyers in private practice, business or public administration – with training and a forum for debate on EU law. At our headquarters in Trier and locations across Europe, as well as online, we provide high-quality conferences and training supported by top speakers across numerous practice areas.
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.
