Thuringia Extends Police Training to 2.5 Years from 2028
Thuringia's police training is set for a significant change. The training period for the middle police service will now span two and a half years, up from the originally planned two years. This extension, starting in 2028, aims to address the growing complexity of the police profession.
The extended training period will not only provide more time for recruits to learn and practice but also give the Thuringian Police Training Center in Meiningen time to prepare its infrastructure for the increased number of trainees. The center plans to add more classrooms, expand the canteen, and enlarge parking lots to accommodate the changes.
Minister of the Interior Norman Müller underscores the importance of solid, modern, and practical training for police recruits. The decision to extend the training period reflects the evolving nature of the police profession, which now demands new equipment and advanced training methods.
The transition to the two and a half year training period will begin in 2028, aligning Thuringia's training period with most other federal states. This change is expected to enhance the quality of police training and better prepare recruits for the complex challenges they will face in their careers.
