Fourth-year commencement of the "Police Vocational School" training program by Münster Police Department

In September 2025, the Hansa-Berufskolleg Münster welcomed two lower-level classes, FP25A and FP25B, as part of the Police Vocational High School (FOS Polizei) programme. This year marks the fourth and largest class in this innovative training model, which has been considered an absolute success by Ute Berkemeier, head of the Hansa-Berufskolleg Münster.

To introduce themselves to the students, the training leadership and the Hansa-Berufskolleg organised a varied programme that included videos, interviews, and even a police rap. The specific teacher and class leading the FOS Polizei course were not explicitly mentioned in the available search results.

The FOS Polizei model allows young people with a medium school leaving certificate to obtain the "Fachabitur Polizei" through a dual course of study at the Hansa-Berufskolleg Münster. The application period for the FOS Polizei 2026/2027 is currently open, running from February 1, 2025, to November 30, 2025. Interested applicants can find further information about the application process on the Münster Police website and on the genau-mein-fall.de website.

Police President Alexandra Dorndorf warmly welcomed the students during their first day at the Landesamt für Fortbildung, Ausbildung und Personalangelegenheiten (LAFP) in Münster. Dorndorf encouraged the students, stating that they are pursuing a worthy goal and there are exciting career paths waiting for them in the police.

The dual course of study provides a comprehensive overview of the police and the diverse career opportunities offered in a police authority. An interview with students of class 11 provided an authentic insight into what the students can expect from the course. The students expressed their enthusiasm for the programme and their eagerness to learn and develop their skills.

Ute Berkemeier, head of the Hansa-Berufskolleg Münster, expressed her pleasure with the FOS Polizei model and considered it an absolute success.
