The Federal Police Academy ( BPOLAK ) is the central training and further education facility of the Federal Police . The academy, based in Lübeck, is directly subordinate to the Federal Police Headquarters and has been led by President Alfons Aigner since November 26, 2015 .
tasks
The Federal Police Academy serves the general technical training of executives of the senior and senior police enforcement service in the Federal Police. In addition, all of the specialist training in the areas of border police , railway police , aviation security , police technology, police sports and medical services takes place there .
In addition, the academy holds seminars on current topics relevant to the police and trains officials from the state police and the Federal Criminal Police Office . In addition, it holds training courses for members of police forces from other countries, especially Eastern Europe and the Baltic region .
Since the reorganization of the BPOL whose implementation began on 1 March 2008, the Federal Police Academy is also responsible for the training of all law enforcement officials of federal responsibility. In this context, the previous Federal Police Training and Advanced Training Centers (BPOLAFZ) will remain in place, but have been subordinated to the Federal Police Academy.
The Federal Police Academy is subordinated to the seven BPOLAFZ Neustrelitz , Walsrode , Diez, Oerlenbach , Swisttal , Eschwege and Bamberg as well as the service dog schools in Neuendettelsau and Bleckede , the Federal Police Sports School Bad Endorf and the Federal Police Sports School Kienbaum .
The Federal Police Academy also maintains the Federal Police's Historical Collection , which includes an extensive archive as well as numerous historical exhibits from the diorama of the GDR border barriers to original vehicles and which is publicly accessible on request.
history
The complex, in which the Federal Police Academy has its headquarters, was built between 1935 and 1938 as a barracks for an air force intelligence unit and, after the end of the war, served the British Army as a hospital until 1950 , and later to accommodate technical units.
On March 16, 1951, the first officers of the newly established Federal Border Police moved into the facility as so-called framework personnel, which from then on served to train the BGS officers . After completing the first course, the then Federal Minister of the Interior , Robert Lehr , gave a speech in which he defined the tasks of the newly created police force. In the history of the Federal Police, the Academy is regarded as the cradle of the Federal Police .
Position in the structure of authorities
The exact position of the Federal Police Academy within the structure of the authorities is unclear. The legislature has refrained from specifying whether it is an upper, middle or lower authority. It is subordinate to a higher federal authority , the Federal Police Headquarters ( Section 57 (2) BPolG), but at the same time a central training and advanced training facility of the Federal Police with responsibility nationwide (Section 57 (4) BPolG). The nationwide jurisdiction tends to speak in favor of a higher federal authority, which it cannot be, since it is already subordinate to a higher federal authority.
