Scottish Police College
The College is the central police training establishment serving all eight police forces in Scotland, comprising some 14,500 officers. The college provides comprehensive training from recruits to command level, including specialist training for detective and traffic officers. Every recruit to the Police Service in Scotland attends the College as soon as possible after joining.
Situated in 90 acres of parkland on the outskirts of the village of Kincardine-on-Forth, just north of the point at which the Kincardine Bridge spans the River Forth, the College enjoys a central location within the Central Lowlands of Scotland. This situation renders the College easily accessible from most areas of Scotland. At the heart of the campus is Tulliallan Castle, built in the early 19th Century, making the College a pretty special place to work.
Corporate Services
Our Corporate Services function is mainly based in Glasgow, however with many of our people spread across the country some support staff are based within the business areas themselves.
