Lausanne, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Jacqueline de Quattro, canton Vaud’s government minister in charge of security, is proposing a unified training centre based in Vaud for all future cantonal and municipal police officers. She came a step closer to her dream Wednesday, 4 November when the grouping of French-and Italian-speaking heads of justice and police (CLDJP), approved the idea in principle, reports Le Temps 5 November.

Currently police officers are trained in academies at locations in Valais (for Vaudois and Valaisans), Neuchatel (for Neutchatelois and Jurassiens), and in Fribourg and Geneva. The centre would also train soldiers detailed to security duties, since police forces are more often called to work together with the army in the case of important events, like the G8 meeting or the World Economic forum meetings in Davos.
