Why change to a Police University? Advantages: Higher standard of training / education and advanced training Establishment and promotion of a „Police Science“ More police research Recruitment of personel from outside the Police Catch up with international development Academic degree for future senior police officers Better standing / higher status for senior police officers

Why change to a Police University? Disadvantages / risks – as seen by critics: Changing role of police? Less practice orientation - too much (academic) theory? Less practical competencies of graduates? Higher costs? Independency of professors – academic freedom? Less influence of ministries of interior on police training and education?

Decision of the Ministers of Interior in 1998 Preconditions: Quality improvement! No more costs, no higher budget! Keep grounded in police reality! Keep influence of Ministers of Interior on main issues of the new university!
