​The members of the Board of Trustees of the seven CEPA member countries met from 21 to 23 June at the annual Board of Trustees meeting to prepare CEPA's operational measures and activities for 2023. This event was organised by the CEPA National Liaison Office in Slovakia. The Board of Trustees is the preparatory and executive body of CEPA and implements the strategic directions of the CEPA Board.  
 

The meeting was opened by Mr Martin Kaščák, Head of the CEPA National Liaison Office in Slovakia. On the first day of the conference, CEPA's training events from 2021 and the training carried out so far this year were summarised and evaluated on the basis of the available experiences and reports from CEPA's courses and seminars.

The agenda for the other two days of the meeting included an intensive work programme to plan the activities for 2023 and to implement the assignments of the CEPA Board from 2021. The content to be developed at the course leader meetings for the individual CEPA courses and the editorial measures to be taken at the CEPA online portal (www.mepa.net) were determined.   

In 2023, sixteen advanced training courses will be offered on various specialist criminal and border police topics. The Certified CEPA Course 2023 and the CEPA Specialised Course 2023 will be offered within the Catalogue of Activities 2023. Job shadowing within the CEPA countries will also be possible.
