CEPOL EUROPEAN UNION AGENCY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING
2
2 CEPOL is an agency of the European Union dedicated to develop, implement and coordinate training for law enforcement officials. Since 1 July 2016, the date of its new legal mandate, CEPOL’s official name is “The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training”. CEPOL’s headquarters are located in Budapest, Hungary. CEPOL contributes to a safer Europe by facilitating cooperation and knowledge sharing among law enforcement officials of the EU Member States and to some extent, from third countries, on issues stemming from EU priorities in the field of security. CEPOL brings together a network of training institutes for law enforcement officials in EU Member States and supports them in providing frontline training on security priorities, law enforcement cooperation and information exchange. CEPOL also works with EU bodies, international organisations, and third countries to ensure that the most serious security threats are tackled with a collective response. What is CEPOL?

4 CEPOL is headed by an Executive Director, who is accountable to a Management Board. The Management Board is made up of representatives from EU Member States and the EU Commission. The chair of the Management Board is a representative of one of the three Member States that have jointly prepared the Council of the European Union’s 18-month programme. The Management Board meets at least two times per year. In addition, CEPOL has dedicated National Units (CNUs) in every Member State to provide information and assistance to law enforcement officials who wish to participate in CEPOL’s activities. CNUs also support CEPOL’s operations. How does CEPOL work?

5 The agency’s annual work programme is built with input from this network and other stakeholders, resulting in topical and focused activities designed to meet the needs of Member States in the priority areas of the EU internal security strategy. Moreover, CEPOL assesses training needs to address EU security priorities. CEPOL constantly strives to offer innovative and advanced training activities by integrating relevant developments in knowledge, research & technology, and by creating synergies through strengthened cooperation. CEPOL’s current portfolio encompasses residential activities, online learning (i.e. webinars, online modules, online courses, etc.), exchange programmes, common curricula, research and science.

CEPOL New Legal Mandate Changes and consequences for CEPOL EUROPEAN UNION AGENCY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING
22
22 Looking ahead The CEPOL regulation concluded its procedural path and entered into force on 25 November 2015. Its date of application is the 1 July 2016. The regulation will have a strong impact on CEPOL: The agency becomes the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training, while the acronym remains the same - CEPOL. A wider target group of “law enforcement officials” is now identified as the community CEPOL should serve. CEPOL is given a coordination and implementation role, and is mandated to address the European dimension of serious and organised crime, terrorism, public order, and CSDP preparedness.
23
23 Other key features of the new legal basis: The CEPOL Secretariat disappears and its staffs become the staff of the agency. The current Governing Board becomes a Management Board (with the European Commission as voting member), gaining powers of Appointing Authority and further competences in determining CEPOL’s internal organisation. The Director is now Executive Director. The role of the Executive Director is reinforced by granting him the responsibility to make proposals to the Management Board, and implement both the budget and the work programme (s). The appointment mechanism of the Executive Director is also modified to include the European Commission. CEPOL National Contact Points (NCPs) become CEPOL National Units (CNUs). An 18-months Chairmanship of the European Council presidency is established.
24
24 Other key features of the new legal basis: CEPOL is a fully fledged EU agency in terms of legal construction, tasked inter alia to bring together a network of law enforcement training institutes. A number of new tasks have been attributed to the agency, such as those related to assessing EU initiatives in defined fields, building the capacity of third countries, providing multiannual Strategic Training Needs Assessments, and the promotion of mutual recognition of training among EU MS. The width of CEPOL’s remit in the area of research relevant for training and external relations has been extended. CEPOL shall establish a Scientific Committee for Training. CEPOL assumes a leading role in the setting up of the Law Enforcement Training Scheme (LETS).
25
25 Other key features of the new legal basis: UK and IE are not bound nor subject yet to the application of the CEPOL regulation. They can opt in at a later stage. The same applies to DK, who opted out. By virtue of Protocol 22, DK is essentially a third state in relation to CEPOL. The UK and IE cannot be considered Member States in relation to their participation in CEPOL, as far as they do not choose to opt into the regulation in accordance with Protocol 21.
26
26 To conclude Responsibility-sharing, mutual trust and effective cooperation between all actors involved are the key to the success of the tools the EU has put in place in recent years. CEPOL’s new mandate ensures that the agency supports and enforces the five key principles underpinning the European Agenda on Security: 1)Ensure full compliance with fundamental rights; 2)Increase transparency, accountability and democratic control to give citizens confidence; 3)Ensure better application and implementation of existing EU legal instruments; 4)Foster a more joined-up inter-agency and a cross-sectorial approach; 5)Bring together all internal and external dimension of security.
27
CEPOL Rebranding Development of a new visual identity EUROPEAN UNION AGENCY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING
28
28 Key findings: CEPOL is a well-respected, professional organisation. Its brand awareness is limited to its immediate target group. The strongest associations are connected to CEPOL’s educative role, but also to networking and cooperation. The perception of CEPOL’s image is young, dynamic, friendly, reliable, professional man. The most relevant qualities are cooperative, organised and authoritative. The current logo is very neutral and thus difficult to recall, and unfitting to CEPOL’s image. First phase: Image analysis
29
29 The Pinwheel – The story behind: Dynamic, slightly curved lines representing stakeholders, moving towards the centre and also away from it, standing for interaction, connection and networking. The lines also resemble the turning pages of a book, referring to CEPOL as a source of knowledge. Stars represent the European dimension. The stars also introduce movement and dynamism in the logo: as they head towards the center (representing CEPOL), they are growing, just as participants are developing through training for the benefit of the entire European community. The key colours are blue and yellow, referring to the police and the EU. Second phase: Logo development
30
30 An identity system and guidelines have been developed from the color palette of the logo. All CEPOL’s brand element shall now follow a consistent visual style throughout. CEPOL’s new typeface is the Myriad Pro font family. New corporate texts have been developed (put CEPOL mission, vision, etc) Third phase: Development of the visual identity
31
31 CEPOL has developed new corporate texts that reflect its new identity and legal mandate. Mission: CEPOL is a European Union agency that fosters European and international law enforcement cooperation through training. Vision: CEPOL aims to become a world-class hub, and a driver of change in the law enforcement training field. One which contributes to addressing European and global security issues by bringing the law enforcement communities closer together to share good practices, knowledge and know-how. Core values: 1) Professional Excellence; 2) Innovation; 3) Responsiveness; 4) Full respect for fundamental rights Core promise: With CEPOL, professionals can grow both their knowledge and networks Motto: CEPOL - Educate, Innovate, Motivate Fourth phase: CEPOL corporate texts
32
32 Objective and rationale: Re-position CEPOL – internally and externally Communicate CEPOL as a new brand – modern, dynamic, innovative, big and significant player Reach and interact with a wider target group Raise awareness within new target group Nurture CEPOL community Create and empower ambassadors Rebranding goes beyond a logo change. CEPOL will use its rebranding to communicate its mission, values, vision and brand identity. Fifth phase: Rebranding implementation
