About Us (Abridged Version)

Being a central University providing senior police training and police further training to the senior police services of the Federation and the Federal states throughout Germany, the Deutsche Hochschule der Polizei  - DHPol (hereinafter referred to as 'German Police University' or 'University') is located in a Southern part of Münster, the suburb of Hiltrup.

The German Police University was founded in 2006. Its predecessor institutions, the 'Polizei-Führungsakademie', and the 'Polizeiinstitut Hiltrup' have been located at this place since the mid 40s of last century.

The University seeks to become the most important forum for providing linkage between academic science and practical policing, thus forming an arena for the discussion of relevant policing subjects in Germany.
