College of Policing

The College of Policing is a professional body for everyone working across policing. It is an operationally independent non-departmental public body.

What we do

• We connect everyone working in the police and law enforcement to understand their challenges.  

• We use evidence-based knowledge in everything we develop.

• We help police officers and staff; researchers, academics and learning providers; the international policing community; and the public.

• We give a voice to professional policing on standards, skills and capabilities.

Our people

About 600 people work for the College of Policing across England and Wales. This includes seconded officers and staff from forces. We also have a network of associates that partner with us as trainers, coaches, assessors, designers and expert witnesses.
