Training, further training and personnel matters: These are the words associated with the LAFP NRW. Police officers from the state of NRW prepare for their duties in the police authorities here - because only those who train professionally can act safely in the field.
The State Office for Training, Further Training and Personnel Affairs of the Police of North Rhine-Westphalia, LAFP NRW for short, is one of the three higher state authorities of the NRW police (LKA NRW, LZPD NRW, LAFP NRW). But there is much more to it than the name suggests. A new information film shows exactly what.
Preparation for deployments abroad and extreme situations
Did you know, for example, that officers are prepared here for their deployment abroad? Or that emergency services from all over the country are prepared here to intervene in the event of terrorist attacks? This is possible in the eleven education and training facilities covering an area of more than 500 soccer pitches.
This is just a small selection of what the LAFP NRW offers - because the higher state authority is as diverse as the police itself and has become increasingly well-known in recent years.
It has now published a ten-minute information film with the help of Jochen Tack (Foto & Video Tack) and presenter Steffi Neu from WDR, which shows what the authority is all about at its locations in Selm, Münster, Brühl, Neuss and Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock.
