INTERNATIONAL POLICE TRAINING CENTER (IPTC)

Turkish National Police (TNP) aims to establish an International Police Training Center (IPTC) that professionally provides modern in-service training for both national and international police forces. IPTC will also serve as a research and development center to enhance our knowledge in policing and security.

Target groups of IPTC are members of TNP, other public officials, members of law enforcement officers from abroad. Thus, Turkey will enhance not only its police forces´ crime fighting capacity, but also contribute the security of our world by providing professional police training for police forces from other countries.

The construction process of IPTC will begin in 2011 and will be completed in 2014. It is estimated that the cost of IPTC will be 100 Million Euro. When we consider Turkey’s peaceful foreign policy in the world and especially in its close neighborhood, IPTC will serve as a focal point to provide police training for national and international police forces.
