Police department in North Rhine-Westphalia notified about the joint study program for aspiring officers
In a lecture scheduled for Tuesday, January 28th at 2:30 PM at BiZ Solingen, Kamper Str. 35, Alina Neuhaus will provide insights into the dual study program for police in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). This program offers a comprehensive training curriculum that combines theory and practice, preparing candidates for diverse professional fields within law enforcement.
Admission Requirements
Candidates seeking admission into the program typically need a university entrance qualification, such as Abitur or an equivalent. Physical fitness and health standards are mandatory due to the demanding nature of police work. Successful completion of selection procedures, including fitness tests, interviews, and security clearances, is also required. Strict screening ensures suitability for the profession, as police officers engage in duties with high physical and mental demands.
Training Contents
The dual study program in NRW combines academic studies with practical police training. Academic components include law, criminology, psychology, social sciences, and police-specific subjects. Practical training covers operational skills such as intervention techniques, investigation procedures, and use of policing equipment. Training also emphasizes cognitive models for decision-making and intervention in policing situations. Physical training is integral due to the occupational requirements described in NRW's legal framework.
Professional Fields of Application
Graduates can work in various units of the police force, including criminal investigation, traffic enforcement, public order, and special operations. Tasks range from crime prevention and investigation to operational response and community policing. Officers may also engage in cooperation with social institutions as part of prevention and intervention programs. Additional roles include coordinating with security and immigration authorities, where IT and security checks are increasingly relevant.
Alina Neuhaus, who promotes the police profession, states that those who like to work in a team and deal with people are suitable for the job. She also notes that especially young women have good chances of being hired in the police force. The police are looking for numerous applicants for their diverse tasks every year.
