history

The first beginnings of a school can be found in 1928, when a "l'École de Gendarmerie au sein de la Compagnie des Gendarmes et Volontaires" was founded. In 1952 the school was merged with the army training . With the abolition of compulsory military service in 1968, the school was relocated to Diekirch . Since 1979 women have also been trained for both the military and the police force. A shortage of recruits led to the separation of the training of the two state forces in 1987.

In 1991, after having been in use for 23 years, the military returned the Villa Hartmann to the City of Luxembourg, which in turn bequeathed the area to the police administration. The police school has been based there since then.

The primary task of the school is to train the recruits for police service in a two-year course. There are currently around 75 pupils per year. In addition, additional courses are offered for police officers who have been with a long service life.
