From 9 to 13 July, 2018, the CoESPU hosted the 1 Law Enforcement Training for Capacity
Building Pilot Course.
The one-week course was attended by 22 Police Officers coming from Croatia, Hungary,
Kosovo, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands and United Kingdom.
Reforming, restructuring and rebuilding Police and other Law Enforcement Institutions in post-
conflict and fragile states goes to
the core of European Union
policing on Police Capacity-
Building.
The current European Stability
Policing model emphasizes that
police capacity-building and
development is a long-term effort
that must reach all levels of every
police organization, from individual personnel to groups or units.
LET4CAP is a project implemented by a consortium that includes the Carabinieri Center of
Excellence for Stability Police Units, the Sant’Anna School for Advanced Studies, the Italian
Governmental Agency “Studiare Sviluppo”, the Slovenian Centre for European Perspective and
the National Polish Police.
The overall training activity, organized in 4 courses, the first of which started in Vicenza, aims to
support Law Enforcement Officers, engaged in international activities in third countries, to
perform their capacity building tasks in accordance
with the mission mandate and the current European
Stability Policing model.
For each level, the model refine the key areas of
support around which police capacity-building and
development activities should be based.
This specific training will enable the police
components of European Union to better design,
implement, monitor and evaluate police capacity-
building and development projects and programs.
