Halftime for Jana Stierli and Nando Wüthrich at the police academy. Now they are confronted with the subject of death. Mental hygiene is extremely important for dealing with it professionally.

Your colleague Yves Chappuis, who has been a police officer for 17 years, still remembers the first corpse he saw on duty. Those are experiences that you won’t forget. “As a police officer, you have to learn to set yourself apart,” says Yves Chappuis.

“Here lies a dead man,” says Nando Wüthrich when entering the apartment. However, the dead man is a doll. The apartment belongs to the Hitzkirch Intercantonal Police School. And it’s all an exercise. It’s about “extraordinary deaths”, or “AGT” for short.

Nando Wüthrich and his colleagues should learn how to proceed in such a scenario. It is of central importance, for example, to check the locking conditions in the deceased’s home. Is the front door locked from the inside? Is there a window open? Could someone have broken into the apartment? In other words, could it be a crime?

After the sterile role play, death then gets a face. A police psychologist shows the aspirants images of corpses that are difficult to digest. About people who have shot themselves, for example. Or hanged. Or thrown in front of the train. “Psychological hygiene is central to our job,” he explains to the youngsters.

Yves Chappuis still remembers the first corpse he was confronted with as a police officer. That was three years after he took office. He and his patrol partner were sent to the address of a woman who had not shown up for work for several days. He then pried open the front door – and saw the dead body. “You don’t forget that,” he says.

At the same time, the necessary demarcation should not be dulled. Every person he deals with has a story. You have to address that. “But one must also never forget that this is her or his story, not my own.”

In Yves Chappuis’ everyday life at the Basel-Landschaft police force, however, it is rarely a matter of life and death, but often of trifles. For example, noise complaints from residents who are annoyed by young people listening to music outside late at night. Or about shoplifters who only paid for part of their purchase and wanted to smuggle the rest out in their backpack. Such scenarios are practiced at the Hitzkirch Intercantonal Police School, but also much more spectacular ones.

For example, what to do if a gunman opened fire in a building. Whoever would be there first would have to intervene. In situations like this, seconds count. By the time the special unit arrives, it may all be over.

Jana Stierli and Nando Wüthrich are preparing for their final exams at the Intercantonal Police Academy in Hitzkirch. Can you do it?

Your colleague Yves Chappuis is meanwhile called to the weir in Birsfelden. A body washed up there. Although he has been in the service for 17 years, the event upsets him. Finally, he brings the news of his death to his family.

It was just before 7 a.m. when Yves Chappuis arrived in Birsfelden. A corpse was washed up here overnight, an employee of the weir explains to him. And yesterday evening a woman was reported missing to the police in Basel-Landschaft. The assumption is that the missing person is now dead.

Yves Chappuis and his colleagues set up a tent in which the corpse can later be examined by the institute for forensic medicine, protected from the eyes of the power plant employees. All experts present should clarify together whether it is a crime, an accident or a suicide. Finally, Yves Chappuis has a very sensitive task: together with an on-call officer, he drives to the relatives to tell them the news of his death.

In preparation for the final exams, the Basel-Landschaft police corps offers Jana Stierli and Nando Wüthrich the opportunity to play through and deepen various scenarios on several Saturday mornings. For example, burglary. The “dress rehearsal” before the final exams is only partially successful.

That’s why the nervousness is great when things get serious at the police academy. Your theoretical and practical knowledge will be tested there for two weeks. The practical exams are completed in pairs – whoever takes part together will be drawn by lot. And the aspirants only find out which topic they have to work on together immediately before the start of the examination.

After finding the drowned body, Yves Chappuis thoughtfully went into his subsequent night shift. Then comes the next emergency call: a man with Alzheimer’s has disappeared. He went for a walk alone and never came back. His wife is in despair. Yves Chappuis receives the description of the missing person and coordinates the search.

He summons a dog handler whose dog is supposed to track the man with the help of “objects of smell”. “You have no idea what I’m going through,” says the disappeared man’s wife to Yves Chappuis. Will there be a happy ending?
