Hendon Police College, police academy in London, England
Description
Hendon Police College is a training facility for police officers in the northern part of London. The site includes classrooms, practice grounds, and accommodation where new officers learn policing skills and procedures.
History
The college was established in 1934 and became a driving force in modernizing police training across Britain. Over the decades, it grew into one of the country's most important centers for professional police development.
Practical
The site is located in Colindale and primarily serves as a training facility, so it is not open to general visitors. You can best appreciate the grounds and buildings from the surrounding neighborhood and exterior viewpoints.
Did you know?
The college was among the first places where standardized police methods were taught systematically instead of officers learning purely through hands-on experience. This shift toward formal training fundamentally changed how policing developed as a profession in Britain.
