Hochschule der Polizei des Landes Brandenburg

The Hochschule der Polizei des Landes Brandenburg (HPol BB), based in Oranienburg, is the central institution for police training and further education in the entire federal state of Brandenburg. On the modern campus, which was completed in 2006, more than 1,000 cadets complete a two-and-a-half-year training programme in the middle service or a three-year bachelor's degree programme (B.A. – Police Service) in the higher service. Since October 2020, the master's programme in Criminalistics has been added to the academic offering in order to respond to the increasing demands for specialisation in the criminal investigation department.
