Every year about 400 students start their training for the third qualification level of policing in Bavaria. Approximately one quarter of the first-year students are high school graduates who fulfill the general employment conditions and have successfully completed a selection procedure with a sports examination and an aptitude test for social competence.

The Hellenic Police is subordinated to the Ministry of Public Order and Citizen Protection. The Hellenic Police assumed its present structure in 1984 when the Gendarmerie (Chorofylaki) and the Urban Police Forces (Astynomia Poleon) were merged (Law 1481/1-10-1984, Government Gazette 152 A).

a) ensure peace and order as well as citizens` unhindered social development, a mission that includes general policing duties and traffic safety

c) prevent illegal border crossing as well as to enforce the legal framework in which immigrants are allowed to live and work in the country.

The Hellenic Police is comprised of both central and regional Services. Hellenic Police`s headquarters is the supreme authority over these Services. Its efforts center on the fulfillment of the Force`s mission, within the framework of the Ministry of Interior`s policy. For this reason, it schedules, directs, oversees and monitors the activities of its Services, and it ensures the necessary conditions for the exercise of its authority.

In its continuous mission to serve and protect citizens, Hellenic Police has responded to our times` demands and challenges by improving training, adopting a modern crime prevention policy, better utilizing science and technology and by exploiting international law enforcement cooperation.
