The Lower Saxony Police Academy is an educational institution of the State of Lower Saxony at the level of a vocational academy . It was founded in 2007 and trains law enforcement officers for the Lower Saxony police . She is also responsible for the training of around 22,000 employees of the Lower Saxony state police. The academy is based in Nienburg / Weser and has other locations in Hann. Münden , Oldenburg , Hanover and Lüchow .
history
The predecessor since 1946 was the Lower Saxony State Police School , which guaranteed training in middle and higher-level police enforcement service. In 1997 it was converted into the Lower Saxony Police Training Institute (BIP NI), which from then on was only responsible for matters relating to further training. The training was completed at the Lower Saxony University of Applied Sciences for Administration and Justice (FHVR) based in Hildesheim , Hann. Relocated to Münden and Oldenburg, which lasted from August 1979 to September 30, 2007. On October 1, 2007, the Police Department of the University of Applied Sciences and the Lower Saxony Police Training Institute (BIP NI) were merged into the newly founded Police Academy with headquarters in Nienburg. The training and further education of the approximately 22,000 employees of the Lower Saxony state police was thus united under one roof. One of the reasons for this change in 2007 was the development of the Bologna Process to create a unified higher education area in Europe.
Course of study
