Our Academy, quietly waiting for us during the past two summer months, has opened its door again as we together are just entering the new academic year 2015/2016. The Academy has slightly changed – it has been renovated, somewhat reconstructed, and facelifted to a certain extent. However, in a sense, it still remains the same – it still remains ours. We are beginning the new academic year w...ith zeal and enthusiasm for work as well as with dignity and willingness to dedicate something to this Academy. Let us leave behind what was bad and let us start off on the right foot.
Academy of the Police Force in Bratislava (hereinafter referred to as “Academy”) was established by the Slovak National Council Act No. 370/1992 Coll. of 15 June 1992. Its original name was changed by the Act No. 324/1996 Coll. of 20 November 1996 (which changes and supplements Act No. 172/1990 Coll. on Higher Education Institutions, as amended by Act No. 41/1994 of the National Council of the Slovak Republic, and on changes of the names of some higher institutions) onto its current name Academy of the Police Force in Bratislava. From the time of its establishment the Academy was carrying out its mission by providing university training and conducting research in study field security services and its specializations. The Academy started its activities on the 1st October 1992 by a grand opening of the academic year 1992/1993 in internal and external Bachelor study programs.
The core assets of the Academy, which was established in the period of acquiring the Slovak statehood and transformation onto a democratic society, are the graduates. From its foundation, the Academy has provided training to 4.814 graduates. Out of this number 1.352 are Bachelor graduates and 3.462 are Master graduates. 127 doctorate graduates have acquired a scientific degree „philosophiae doctor“ (PhD.). The quality of training may also be seen in the interest of foreign students. So far, 147 students from the Czech Republic have graduated the Master study. Within continuing education (qualification, re-qualification, language trainings and other courses) in average 700 police officers, employees of Ministry of Interior and other state security forces are trained a year. Till nowadays, Scientific Board granted a scientific degree associated professor to 66 applicants, approved 13 proposals for professors´ appointment and 1 proposal for granting a scientific degree doctor of science Dr.Sc.. Moreover, 4 outstanding personalities acquired a honorary degree „Doctor honoris causa“ and 1 personality acquired a title emeritus professor.
The aim of international co-operation is to ensure transfer of latest scientific knowledge into the training of police officers and other security services specialists. Subsequent to Slovak membership in EU, the Academy is obliged to provide police training in compliance with the Stockholm Convention, which defines basic directions of unified training of police officers. At international level, the Academy develops active international contacts and co-operation with partner universities and research institutions in all spheres of activities. The Academy coordinates and guarantees international activities in the area of continuing education of senior police officers in the framework of international training programmes. Basically, international training activities fall under the European Police University (CEPOL), Middle-European Police Academy (MEPA) and FRONTEX agency.
At present, the Academy guarantees the content and organisation of two international projects focused on development of police sciences and crime prediction and prevention in the European region. The Academy actively co-operates with foreign educational institutions such as Police Academy of the Czech Republic in Prague, Hochschule der Polizei (former Polizei- Fűhrungsakademie) Műnster in Germany, Rendőrtiszti Főiskola Budapest in Hungary, The Politieacademie (National institute for recruitment, selection and training of police officers) in the Netherlands, The University of Hull in Great Britain, etc.
