​As a member of the Central European Police Academy (CEPA), the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), in cooperation and with the support of Austria and Slovenia, organised and implemented an expert seminar on “Fighting international vehicle crime” from 6 – 10 July 2015. The seminar was attended by 25 criminal and border police officers from different professional fields of activity but all with sufficient links to and knowledge of the seminar issue. Unfortunately, also for this seminar no participants from the Czech Republic could be recruited. The contents of the first seminar day were treated by an officer from the BKA unit responsible for this field of crime, describing among other things the situation and basics of vehicle identification. On the following days, lecturers from Slovenia and Austria treated phenomenological problems and presented training possibilities for fighting international vehicle crime. The participants themselves also contributed to the seminar by giving short presentations but also by commenting on and discussing the presentations of the main lecturers. All this ensured an extensive and far-reaching exchange of information between lecturers and seminar participants. This way this seminar also served as a successful contribution to achieving a “common declaration” of the Central European Police Academy.
