General Description:

The Estonian Academy of Security Sciences (EASS) is a state institution providing professional training for civil servants in the field of government under the Estonian Ministry of the Interior. The EASS was established in 1992 to train specialists with higher education for the police and other law enforcement agencies. Since then, EASS has undergone several reforms, but the goal has remained the same – to provide the best possible training for internal security professionals.

Since 2010, EASS has consisted of four colleges and an institute that train officers in the fields of police and border guards, rescue, corrections, and taxation and customs. Studies are conducted at the level of vocational training, professional higher education, and master’s studies, in both full-time and distance learning forms.

The Police and Border Guard College (PBGC) is responsible for providing basic training for all police officers in Estonia. The current educational model for police training in Estonian is based on the fact that policing and border guarding duties in Estonia are performed by one law enforcement agency – the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board. Therefore, all police officers who graduate the PBGC have the opportunity to choose a career in either policing or border guarding, or even to change positions during their career.

The PBGC offers two separate curricula, but both ensure that graduates have both the competencies of a police officer and a border guard officer:

• Vocational curriculum (approx. 1.6 years; 100 ECVET points)
• Higher education curriculum (3 years; 180 ECTS)

Both curricula are in line with the FRONTEX CCC and provide graduates with the best competences to work in the field of internal security.

Role within the project:
In LAW-GAME, EASS will be mainly responsible for leading pilots planning and evaluation and have a main role in the “Terrorist attack” mini game execution.

EASS will contribute to the definition of the training scenarios and content and the dissemination of the project results.
