Further Training

The Police College offers further training aimed at maintaining and improving the skills of those working in the police service.

Specialist Studies for Police Officers is a study programme that provides the officers with a possibility to extend and deepen their professional know-how.

The Police College organizes courses aimed at maintaining and improving the skills of police officers each year. Subjects include the duties of the first patrol arriving at the scene of a crime, leadership skills of office supervisors, permit matters, and the investigation of drug-related offences.

Further training is also provided by local police departments and national police units. The Police College also cooperates in the field of further training with the Customs, the Border Guard, the Emergency Response Centre Administration, the Finnish Defence Forces, the Criminal Sanctions Agency and the prosecution service.
