"We have contacts with organizations outside of the police. Once you've determined that there is competence available from a group, you'll invite them," she said.

She acknowledged that it isn't common practice to invite lobbying organizations to Police Academy classes, but denied that there

is a danger that MPAA and FBI would influence how police officers perceive their mission.

"This is part of a big picture. What they work with is how to handle these matters in the best way possible, and what methods are available for doing that," she said. "The work of police officers isn't influenced because they attend a seminar. They [the lecturers] share knowledge, they have no influence whatsoever on the classes. A seminar means that you invite different groups with different perspectives."

However, Hilton said that groups representing the opposite view, such as Swedish pro-piracy organization Piratbyr'n or Swedish pro-piracy political party Piratpartiet, were not invited.
