​From 22 February to 4 March 2016 the CEPA organized a course on specialized training of German in the premises of the Hochschule der Polizei of Baden-Württemberg. Seven police officers, originating from three CEPA-countries had the opportunity to improve and enhance their command of the German language.

Out of this seven, four participants were sent from Hungary, two from Slovenia and on colleague came from the Slovak Republic. From their technical field of work, many aspects, such as target investigators, members of a homicide department and forensic scientists, were covered.

Given the fact that all participants had already a good knowledge of German, the main focus of the course was on improving of the vocabulary and the communication skills in general. Of major importance in this respect was the on-going migration crisis; this topic led to intensive discussions in the context of the intercultural dialogue. Furthermore, also the respective structures of the police organizations, findings on criminal cases of major importance, as well as an insight into the history of the German Police Forces and in the former Eastern Bloc countries was given.

As social events the participants had the opportunity to visit the Police Museum of Stuttgart as well as the Police Presidium in Tuttlingen. Furthermore, a guided tour through Villingen and the Watch-Industry-Museum took place, which gave not only the basis for discussions, but also fostered the merging of the group.
