POLİS AKADEMİSİ

International Cooperation

Relations with International Organizations

TNPA has strong relationships with worldwide associations engaged in police training.

  • International Association of Police Academies (INTERPA)

The International Association of Police Academies (INTERPA) was founded in Istanbul on 2 July 2011 under the leadership of our Academy with the participation of 25 police training institutions. It aims to unite the institutions offering police training under the same umbrella and find solutions for their common problems. 

Since its foundation, INTERPA has organized 8 international conferences, 8 General Council meetings, 16 Executive Board meetings and 8 international training programs. Lately, with the 8th INTERPA Conference hosted by Gujarat Forensic Sciences University in India with the attendance of 90 participants from 35 countries and 1 international organization, INTERPA’s number of members increased to 73 institutions from 57 countries. 

INTERPA aims to increase cooperation between the member police training institutions by sharing studies and experiences in policing and police training, organize exchange programs (for police chiefs, academic staff, trainers and police candidates) and improve the management capacities of the member institutions by benefiting best practices. 

Chairing the INTERPA, the Turkish National Police Academy also serves as the Permanent Secretariat of the Association. 

Any institution that offers training in the field of security in their own country may file membership application to INTERPA via the INTERPA Secretariat. The applications are accepted in the General Council by the majority vote. 

Among INTERPA’s activities are annual conferences, General Council and Executive Board meetings and international training programs.
