COOPERATION WITH THE GERMAN EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION “SONNENBERG KREIS” AND THE AUSTRIAN EXAMINATION CENTER “ÖSD-ODESSA”

Representatives of the All-Ukrainian Association of Scientists and Specialists in the Field of Operational and Investigative Activities participated in the inaugural seminar on the topic “Reforms in the Police of Ukraine”. The event was held at Impact Hub Odessa at the initiative of the Austrian Examination Center “ÖSD-ODESSA”.

At the beginning of the meeting, the head of the Austrian Examination Center "ÖSD-ODESSA" Liliya Martynenko presented to the seminar participants the opening of the branch of the German Educational Society "Sonnenberg Kreis" in Odessa and spoke about the main areas of its activity.

Directly during the seminar, the Deputy Chairman of the Association Serhiy Albul focused on the model of training police personnel in the conditions of the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, which is based on a combination of education and practical training. He noted that the peculiarity of the model is that obtaining each subsequent educational and qualification level alternates with service in a position corresponding to the level obtained. That is, there is a constant increase in the professional level, which will positively affect the quality of work of both the police officer himself and the law enforcement agency as a whole.
