<p>The European Police College (CEPOL) is currently co-located with the College of Policing at Bramshill. The Government has decided to sell the Bramshill site as it does not represent good value for money for the taxpayer. The Government has assessed that the costs saved by the sale of Bramshill outweigh other factors, including the benefits of hosting CEPOL. The Government supports CEPOL's continued existence as an independent European Union Agency and will support its relocation elsewhere in Europe.</p><p>CEPOL is an agency of the European Union funded directly from the EU's general budget. It receives €8.451 million (approximately (£6.85 million) per annum. CEPOL currently pays the College of Policing facilities management costs of £266,000 per annum.</p>
