The Education Center of the Thuringian Police (BZThPol) is the training and further education facility of the Thuringian Police based in the southern Thuringian district town of Meiningen .
At the training center of the Thuringian Police, the police officers are trained for the career path to intermediate police service. Another main task is an extensive training program for law enforcement officers of all career groups.

education
It takes two years to train a police officer to become a medium-sized police force at the Thuringian Police Training Center. At the beginning of their training, the young candidates are prepared for their new role as police officers in a two-week introductory seminar.
The theoretical foundations are laid during the first year of training. In various subjects, which together form the so-called basic course, essential basic knowledge for later police action is imparted:
- State and Constitutional Law
- Right of intervention
- Criminal and administrative offense law
- Public service law
- Criminology / Criminology
- Traffic law / theory
- Service and deployment apprenticeship
- psychology
- German
- English
- Professional ethics
- Information technology
Two practical weeks loosen up the theoretical lessons in the basic course. Various topics are taught in a practical way in block events:
- First aid training
- Information technology seminar
- Behavioral training
- Driving and safety training
- Excursion to the Buchenwald memorial
Leading topics (LT) tie in directly to the previous material and deepen the previously laid basics. With the focus on practical application, specialist knowledge and skills are combined in priority police topics in order to prepare the candidates for the requirements of police practice. The guiding themes are based on operational situations in police practice:
- LT1 Basics of police operations and patrol duty
- LT2 traffic accident recording 1
- LT3 Fight against crime 1
- LT4 disputes in the immediate social area
- LT5 traffic monitoring
- LT6 Fight against crime 2
- LT7 traffic accident recording 2
Both years of training are accompanied by training or instruction in sports, non-shooting / shooting and intervention techniques. In addition to the final exam, an eight-week internship in a police station is the highlight of the second year of training. Further content-related focal points of the training are the subjects of special police law, coping with rampage, closed units and the seminar forced use.
Advanced training
The advanced training that every police officer has to undergo on a regular basis consists of the specialist areas of deployment and leadership, crime control, traffic and a sports training center.
Sports educational facility
A sports training facility of the Thuringian State Police is attached to the training center. Your tasks are the implementation of sports training in the vocational training of the middle police enforcement service, the organization and implementation of professional sports, the training of sports instructors for the Thuringian police, the implementation of sports training in various advanced training courses and the implementation of the sports test in the aptitude selection process.

History of the property
In 1934, the construction plans and the reference date for the construction of a barracks "Auf dem Drachenberg" were available to the Meiningen Army Construction Office. The shell of the Drachenberg barracks was handed over to the first user on January 5, 1936 with a delay of three months. The 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Rifle Regiment and the staff of the 2nd Panzer Brigade moved into the barracks. When designing this barracks, accommodation, staff and farm buildings, a parade ground and a sports hall were built. From November 1938 a battalion of the 14th Rifle Regiment of the 4th Panzer Division was quartered here. With the beginning of the Second World War , the facilities and facilities were used for replacement and training units of the German Wehrmacht .
The Wehrmacht information center for the notification of the next of kin of fallen soldiers of the German Wehrmacht (WASt) relocated part of the authority to Meiningen in August 1943. On April 5, 1945, a special unit of the US Army took over the WASt and placed it under the American military administration on April 12, 1945. At the beginning of July 1945 the US Army relocated most of the "WASt documents" to Fürstenhagen near Kassel.
After the occupation of Thuringia by the Soviet troops, the remaining WASt documents were confiscated by the SMAD. The documents of the former Wehrmacht information center can be used today in an authority of the Berlin Senate Administration, the German Office. The head of this department visited the Thuringian Police Education Center for an information visit in 2012. The Soviet Army decided not to use the barracks, but the SMAD issued an order to carry out the demolition from 1946. A partial demolition followed, affecting technical facilities such as garages and workshops.
In 1947/1948, police units moved into the Drachenberg barracks. In the GDR, this property was divided into two separate areas. The western part was used by the 13th VP readiness and the eastern part by units of the 9th Border Regiment . This property was used by the military until the middle of 1990. The Thuringian police then took over the property in order to set up a training institute here.
On July 8, 1991, the school began at the "Training Institute of the Thuringian Police". In 1994, the police department of the Thuringian University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration also started its operations in House I on the Drachberg. The Meiningen public prosecutor's office and the Meiningen police station were also located in this barracks complex for several years before the move to the newly built Meiningen justice center took place. In 2001 Meiningen began to train candidates for the intermediate police enforcement service and the facility was named the “Thuringian Police Training Center”. In the education center, a lot is being done for competitive sports in the Thuringian police; competitive athletes have found professional prospects here since 2004. State-of-the-art educational facilities have been set up for study and training. These include the sports hall with integrated indoor shooting range, several practical crime scene worlds and lecture hall buildings.
