In the heart of Hagen, at the city hall, a significant milestone was reached on August 29, 2025. The Hochschule für Polizei und öffentliche Verwaltung Nordrhein-Westfalen (HSPV NRW) (University of Police and Public Administration NRW) celebrated the graduation of 188 students from the Police Service (PVD) and 97 from the Municipal Administrative Service (KVD).

This event marked the culmination of a program designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in the police, state administration, municipal administration, and pension insurance.

The graduation ceremony was graced by the presence of Hagen's Mayor, Erik O. Schulz, and Police President, Ursula Tomahogh, who delivered welcoming remarks. The top graduates of the year were also recognised during the ceremony.

The event was not just about academics. The group "Ich und Du" provided musical numbers to add a festive touch. Imam Turan, a representative of the three major religions, also spoke at the ceremony, reflecting the diversity of the student body.
