Once the environment will be developed, the consortium will design and develop on-line training courses, accessible in Internet, and aimed to agents, officials and inspectors of European local polices., ,The system is going to be complemented by a software for the human resources departments in order to manage the training activities inside the local polices. WebPOL responds to the following needs: Technological needs: the incorporation of new technologies in the training processes of the European polices forces aims at improving the quality of the vocational training. New contents needs: as society progresses, the local officers have to face new kinds of problems: international organised Mafia, a proper attention to the immigrant, learning languages, new technologies and daily used machines, technological offences, modification of the rules, environmental offences, gender-based violence, the role of the local police in a multicultural society, European co-operation, new drugs Needs of European co-ordination: it is needed to create a training system that could be used by any European local police forces and also to create the common contents in the EU, with their corresponding European certificate.
