A look back at half a century of training and commitment to public safety.
A little history
Created on April 18, 1974, the Toulouse National Police Academy has become over the decades an essential institution for the training of police officers in France. Initially dedicated to the training of command corps civil servants, the school has evolved to meet the new needs and requirements of the profession.
Under different names, it first provided initial and then continuing training for high-ranking police officers. Over time, the ENPT has diversified its missions to include training adapted to civil servants in the management and enforcement body. Today, this school not only trains future officers, but also peacekeepers, deputy police officers, and cadets of the Republic, thus preparing all public security actors for their respective functions.
A school at the heart of police developments
The ENPT has always been able to adapt to societal developments and contemporary security issues. Over the years, the courses offered have been enriched to integrate new teaching methods, as well as specific training linked to new forms of crime, maintaining order, and modern investigation techniques.
The school today occupies a central place in police training in France, guaranteeing future agents rigorous preparation for their missions, but also adaptation to the emerging challenges of the profession.

Training focused on the future
With this half century of existence, the ENPT is resolutely looking towards the future. In a context of rapid transformation of threats and technologies, the school aims to continue to innovate and train police officers capable of meeting the challenges of tomorrow. The school strives to maintain a level of excellence and modernity in its educational approach.
