Cooperation Partners and Foreign Relations

The main national partner of the Academy regarding the specialties of Corrections and Prison Officers is the Ministry of Justice and the prisons belong to its area of jurisdiction. An important foreign partner through years has been the prison staff training center in Finland (RSKK), with reciprocal study visits of lecturers and students and the organization of joint trainings.

In 2006 to 2008, the College of Justice participated in a foreign project for the creation of a training center for prison officers in Georgia and in the training of teachers there, conducted by the training center of the Swedish prison and probation officers and funded by the Swedish foreign aid agency (SIDA).

In 2010, in the framework of a Leonardo da Vinci mobility project, the lecturers of the College visited the training center of the Norwegian prison officials (KRUS), where experience was gained on organizing practical training.
