Paplona 1

The trip was organised as part of the Erasmus+ programme. 

During their stay in Pamplona, the students had a unique opportunity to learn about the structure of the uniformed services in the Kingdom of Spain, the scope of their duties and the methods used by these units. During the placement, the participants spoke with staff from ‘traditional’ criminal investigation departments, such as those dealing with drug offences, juvenile crime and organised crime. Visits to departments specialising in policing in the province of Navarre – dealing, among other things, with separatist movements and bomb disposal operations – also proved to be a valuable experience. Such a wide-ranging programme enabled participants to gain an insight into the specific threats facing northern Spain, linked to the historical activities of the terrorist organisation ETA.
