Akademie der Polizei Baden-Württemberg, Police training academy in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The Akademie der Polizei Baden-Württemberg is a police training facility in Freiburg im Breisgau with classroom buildings, training grounds, and administrative spaces. The complex provides instruction in law enforcement procedures, physical training, and professional development for officers.
The academy was established in 2000 to replace the earlier state police school. A major restructuring occurred in 2014 when its training functions merged with the police university.
Since 2006 the academy has run three-day seminars on intercultural competence for police officers in cooperation with the Great Mosque in Buggingen. Participants also come from neighbouring France and Switzerland and from the MEPA states of Central Europe. The academy's criminal museum, once housed in Freiburg, held a room on the 1953 burglary of Hohenzollern Castle before moving to Böblingen.
The academy's Freiburg site was given up in 2016, so the campus is no longer in use by the academy. The facility was not open to the public as a government training institution. The site lay in Freiburg im Breisgau, where the sports field had housed an emergency reception centre in 2015.
The academy's sports field served as an emergency reception center during the 2015 refugee crisis. This space demonstrates how government facilities can adapt to urgent community needs.
