​This year's CEPA Drugs Seminar took place in Böblingen/Baden-Württemberg from August 20 until August 24, 2018. EKHK Joachim Fischer from the State Criminal Police Office of Baden-Württemberg and EKHK Jürgen Wörner from the Police University, Institute for Further Education, were in charge.

A total of 30 participants from all CEPA states from the police and customs sectors as well as a public prosecutor were represented.

As in previous years, the thematic focus was on drug trafficking on the Internet/Darknet, dealing with new psychoactive substances and the use of confidants and undercover investigators. In addition, the programme was supplemented by lectures on legal changes at European level in the area of confidants, on international cooperation via liaison officers of the German Federal Criminal Police Office and on the implementation of twinning projects.
 

The supporting programme also offered extensive scope for personal exchange of experience between colleagues in the member countries.
