​The Trustees of the seven CEPA member countries met from 14 to 17 May 2018 at the annual Trustees' meeting to prepare the operational measures and activities of CEPA in 2019. This event was organized by the National Liaison Office of CEPA in Austria. The CEPA Board of Trustees is the operational body of this organization and implements the strategic guidelines of the CEPA Board. 

The meeting was opened by Mr. Andreas Wolf from the Central Coordination Office of CEPA. On the first day of the conference, CEPA's 2018 training events were summarized and evaluated on the basis of the available experience and reports from CEPA courses and seminars. The first evening ended with a city tour.

The agenda for the next two days included an intensive working program to plan and implement the activities for 2019 and the future of CEPA as a whole. The Board of Trustees of the Central European Police Academy determines the content and number of seminars and plans all events for next year. The Board of Trustees also has to deal with the strategic guidelines of the CEPA Board. The content to be developed for the individual CEPA courses and the editorial measures to be taken at CEPA's online portal (www.mepa.net) are determined at the course instructor meetings.  

In 2019, eleven advanced training events will be offered on various specialist topics.  The range of services also includes current border police issues. The CEPA Main Course and the CEPA Special Course will also be held in 2019 within the Activities Catalogue 2019. Internships within the CEPA countries will also be possible again in 2019.
