This legislation establishes a specialised training program focused on detecting and addressing offences related to cultural heritage. The program covers various aspects such as judicial organisation, police responsibilities, evidence handling, and specific cultural heritage laws. It aims to equip agents with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively identify and address violations of cultural heritage regulations. By providing a structured curriculum and assessment process, the program ensures that participants are well-prepared to fulfil their roles in safeguarding cultural heritage.
The training program includes examinations on the relevant laws, regulations, and penal provisions concerning cultural heritage protection. Successful completion of the program allows participants to be sworn in as judicial officers empowered to enforce these laws. The assessment process involves a written exam where candidates must achieve a minimum score to pass and proceed to take on their official duties. Additionally, the legislation outlines provisions for candidates who may need to retake the exam if unsuccessful initially, ensuring ongoing support for their professional development in this specialised field.
Furthermore, the legislation highlights the role of the National Institute of Public Administration in organising and overseeing this specialised training. It emphasises the importance of continuous education and skill development for agents involved in heritage preservation and law enforcement. By setting clear guidelines and standards for training and assessment, the legislation contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of efforts to protect and preserve cultural heritage.
