Policijska akademija „Prvi hrvatski redarstvenik“ - e-obrazovanje

From 11 to 15 March 2024, the fourth live meeting of experts in the tactics and techniques of the use of force and tactical medicine of the Erasmus+ project Development of Joint Curriculum for First Responders on the Use of Force and First Aid Tactical Procedures (FIRST-TAC) was held at the Agency for Education and Professional Training in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project is jointly implemented by the Police Academy – The First Croatian Police Officer, as the project leader, and the Agency for Education and Professional Training, the Lithuanian Police School and the Police School in Slupsk from Poland. 

The meeting in Mostar focused on the completion of teaching materials for the needs of future training in the area of tactics and techniques for the use of force and tactical medicine. Lesson plans for the delivery of the trainings have been completed with detailed descriptions of the exercises and instructions for the instructors who will lead them. It should be pointed out that the training includes an online preparatory phase for refreshing theoretical knowledge, and materials for independent learning of the training participants were created at the meetings in Croatia, Lithuania and Poland. 

The participants of the Mostar meeting were greeted by the Director of the Agency for Education and Professional Training Marko Vujević, noting that he is pleased that the agency he leads is a participant in this important project, which will contribute to the strengthening of police capacities through the creation of a modern program and its implementation. “In this project, Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only one that is not a member of the EU, but we strive for it. These days we have positive signals from Brussels about the opening of accession negotiations. We are satisfied with the partnership with your academies and we believe in quality exchange of knowledge, that is, we believe that you too can learn something from us, respecting the specifics in which we live and work”, concluded director Vujević. 

The FIRST-TAC project will be continued in May, when the first pilot training will be held at the Police Academy, based on the created program and teaching materials. Six police officers per partner institution – from Croatia, Lithuania, Poland and B&H – will participate, and the same practice will be repeated in other partner institutions. The project should be completed at the end of April next year.
