The Police Academy in Szczytno aims to establish cooperation with as many European police universities that hold the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education as possible. In this context, on 11–13 August 2025, we had the pleasure of hosting a delegation from the Police University College in Tampere (Finland): Ms. Nelli Mäkelä, the university Erasmus+ programme coordinator, and Ms. Johanna Guessous, the head of the Student Services Department at the Finnish institution.
As part of their Erasmus+ internship, students from the Police Academy in Szczytno visited the Kriminalpolizeiinpektion in Bamberg (Germany), where they had the opportunity to learn about the functioning of the Bavarian State Police and the German Federal Police. The visit enabled a detailed analysis of the training system, service organization, and operational practices applied by German law enforcement agencies.
Thanks to the assistance of Polish Police liaison officers, Erasmus+ student mobility enables scholarship holders to become familiar with the realities of service in local police units abroad. This year, the participants are visiting Bavaria. From 21 July to 8 August 2025, Sergeant Class II, Michał Stawkowski, a third-year student of Police Science, completed an internship in police units in the Würzburg region (Bavaria, Germany).

The host of the internship was the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Police Headquarters in Croatia, Rijeka.
During the two-week stay, the participants were assigned to several organizational units subordinate to the Headquarters, which allowed them to gain comprehensive insight into the specifics of service across different branches of the Croatian police. At the 1st Police Station in Rijeka, they performed patrol and intervention duties alongside local officers, working to ensure the safety of both residents and tourists in the city and surrounding areas.
On 7 - 18 July 2025, a student of the Police Academy in Szczytno, studying Police Science, participated in an international mobility under the Erasmus+ programme in Budapest, Hungary. The scholarship holder took part in this year’s edition of the "Ordered Liberty School", organized by Ludovika University of Public Service in cooperation with the University of Louisville (USA).
The exchange of Erasmus+ scholarship holders between the Police Academy in Szczytno and European universities with a similar educational profile remains active. From 30 June to 4 July, 2025, our Academy hosted a lecturer from the Ioan Cuza Police Academy in Bucharest, dr. Emil Răzvan Gâtej, who specializes in psychology and social communication.
The international internship in Budapest proved that learning, personal development, and adventure can go hand in hand – especially when lectures, police services, and the charming corners of Hungary’s capital serve as the backdrop.
The trip to Budapest for an Erasmus+ internship at the University of Public Service - Ludovika was an exceptional opportunity to combine academic learning, personal growth, and the exploration of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The University of Public Service - Ludovika is a renowned Hungarian institution specializing in administrative sciences, public management, security, and international relations, making it an ideal place for criminology graduates interested in these fields.
Nine students from the Police Academy in Szczytno, studying Police Science and Criminology, took part in an Erasmus+ internship in Barcelona from 16-27 June, 2025. They were hosted at the Complejo Policial Nacional La Verneda.
At the beginning of the mobility, the participants attended a meeting focused on the presentation of the Spanish National Police. The course of service was outlined – from the recruitment stage through successive career levels, including training and promotion requirements. The organizational structure of central and regional units was also discussed. Participants learned how the police hierarchy functions in Spain and what the professional pathway of an officer looks like.
