The Academy of European Law (ERA) in Trier, Germany hosted the training course CEPOL 94/2018 on JOINT INVESTIGATIONS TEAM - IMPLEMENTATION that took place in late April. Organised with the support of ENSP, EJTN, Eurojust, the JIT Network Secretariat at Eurojust, and Europol, the interactive training course was attended by 39 participants from law enforcement, prosecutorial and judicial backgrounds.
20 EU Member States were represented, with attendees all flying in to Luxembourg, on Trier’s doorstep. This varied mix lead to a very successful execution of the programme, led by a 7strong team of experts from across Europe. Prominent experts from EJTN, Europol, Denmark, Eurojust and Poland joined together to create the European atmosphere in a blend of lectures and workshops making up the three-day programme.
The course aimed at enhancing the competences and deepening the understanding of the set-up and functioning of Joint Investigation Teams. Following the different steps to be taken when setting-up a JIT in real life, this 4-day course offered participants in-depth training on the preparation of a JIT, the implementation of a JIT, and the new instrument of JIT Evaluation.
A realistic scenario which was used as a basis for the mock JIT preparation and implementation incorporated all of the elements necessary to give the participants a real feel for the experience. This good balance of theoretical elements, practical exercises, exchange of experience and best practice, also during the networking opportunities was most appreciated by participants and trainers alike.
