The European Police College (CEPOL), an agency of the European Union, is an academy for training senior and middle-ranking EU police officials. Its mission is to help the EU’s national police forces in their fight against crime, especially cross-border crime. It has been running training courses on European policing since 2001.
CEPOL's main objective is to help police officers from different EU countries to learn more about each other’s national police systems, and about cross-border police cooperation in Europe. The Police College may cooperate with the national police training institutes of countries outside the European Union. In particular, it makes its facilities available to senior police officers from the candidate countries and Iceland and Norway. CEPOL will be permanently based at Bramshill, United Kingdom.
