An educational institution of the International Police Association

IBZ Schloss Gimborn Annual report 2014 Pg. 2

1. IBZ SCHLOSS GIMBORN | 45 YEARS OF EDUCATION - MEETINGS - FRIENDSHIP

The Informations- und Bildungszentrum Schloss Gimborn (IBZ) is an international advanced

education facility and meeting place, especially for police officers of all categories and

functional divisions, which is well known beyond Germany's borders.

The IBZ was founded in 1969 by the International Police Association with the aim of

promoting international understanding, cross-border cooperation and civic education and is

currently supported by an association with over 560 members from Europe and overseas.

This includes both individual members and divisions of the International Police Association

(IPA). The IPA is the largest international professional association of police officers. It has

approximately 400,000 members in 66 countries and since it was formed in 1950 it has been

pursuing the goals of promoting international understanding and maintaining personal

contacts regardless of gender, rank, nationality and religious or political beliefs.

The traditional Gimborn environment puts a particular stamp on all events of the IBZ. The

old buildings of the castle that are privately owned by Baron von Fürstenberg, the idyllic

ensemble of the church, school, farm, country house hotel and castle of Gimborn, a hamlet

with 25 inhabitants, and the scenic location in the heavily-forested Bergisches Land region

practice their irresistible charms on every visitor.

The seminars of IBZ primarily tackle topical social and political issues relating to the police,

but also deal with communications, health management and professional development. In

addition to the many German-language seminars, regular international seminars are also

held in a number of different languages.

The IBZ should not be regarded as a school for adults or a company that provides academic

seminars. Aside from providing very high-quality seminars, it is more about exchanging

professional and personal opinions and experiences. IBZ Schloss Gimborn is unique as a

further education institution with its range of transnational and above all international

seminars, further education and training for police officers as well as human encounters in a

unique environment. Many police forces have gladly taken advantage of the opportunity to

send police officers on a secondment to take part in seminars held by IBZ over the last few

years.

2. IBZ SCHLOSS GIMBORN | DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEMINAR FACILITY

− The number of seminar participants continued to decrease in 2014.

− Especially remarkable was the significant decline in the number of German

participants.

− 10 of the 39 seminars originally planned were cancelled due to insufficient

participant numbers.

− Considering the significant negative developments between 2011 and 2014, the

new Director conducted a situation analysis together with the employees

immediately after taking up his duties and implemented a number of measures at

short notice to improve attendance figures.

− The trend towards declining attendance figures that has sustained since 2011

may come to an end in 2015. As things stand (June 20, 2015), attendance figures

will increase by more than 30% compared to the previous year.

− As part of a two-day workshop, the management and the Executive Board

discussed various ideas for improving participation and decided to promptly

implement a number of different measures.
