The Scottish Police College is based at Tulliallan Castle, in Kincardine.
Since 1 April 2013, the college has been under the control of Police Scotland.
In addition to probationer training, the college provides training in various specialist areas, such as Road Policing, Criminal Investigation, and training for newly promoted officers.
The motto of the college is, BI GLIC - BI GLIC, which is the cry of the oystercatcher which translates from Gaelic as 'Be Wise, Be Circumspect'. Oystercatchers can be found throughout the grounds of the college. The college's achievement depicts two oystercatchers surrounding the escutcheon of the Scottish Police Service which is in itself surrounded by two books to signify learning.




History


Tulliallan Castle, a 160-year-old mixture of Gothic and Italian style architecture set amid some 90 acres (360,000 m2) of parkland just north of where the Kincardine Bridge spans the River Forth, is the home of the Scottish Police College.
The castle was built for George Keith Elphinstone (Admiral Lord Keith, one time senior officer of Lord Nelson), from money received from prize ships. Construction was carried out by a labour force said to include French prisoners of war.
During the Second World War Tulliallan Castle was used by the Free Polish Army as its headquarters in Scotland.
Prior to the Second World War there was no central training for police officers in Scotland, but immediately thereafter it was decided that probationer constables from all forces should be trained centrally and that some training for more senior officers should also be provided. The result was Tulliallan, purchased in 1950 by the then Scottish Home Department for £9,100. The building was modernised and renovated and the first courses for inspectors and sergeants began in 1954.




Divisions






= Probationer Training Division

The Police Scotland probationer training programme takes a total of 2 years to complete.
All new recruits to the Police Service of Scotland undergo an Initial Training Course at the college which lasts 12 weeks and culminates in a Passing out Parade.
During this course recruits undergo training in various areas of policing including Police And The Community, Crime, Evidence, General Police Duties, Roads Policing, and Investigative Skills.
In addition to classroom based activity, recruits also undergo Officer Safety Training, teaching them the skills of unarmed combat, baton techniques, handcuff techniques, and the use of PAVA Spray.
Recruits undertake limited physical training focussed mainly on passing the Scottish Police Fitness Test which is currently level 5.4 on the Multi Stage Fitness Test.
Once starting Probationer Training officers are on probation for two years. During this time Probationary Officers attend local training centres to undertake further assessment and fitness testing.
