An overview of Europe's largest police training organisation.

 

 

NPT is Europe's largest police training organisation. It provides police training and facilities for police training for all forces in England and Wales as well as some Non-Home office and international forces. It is currently part of the Home Office, but this is due to change in April 2002 when it becomes a Non-Departmental Public Body called the Central Police Training and Development Authority. This is a direct result of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001.

The new organisation aims to be "At the heart of policing worldwide" and to be the leading police learning and development organisation, promoting the achievement of professional excellence and enhancing the operational effectiveness of police services in the United Kingdom and internationally.
