This visit provided an opportunity to explain the missions of the Police Academy, the stages of initial training, and the educational and operational resources made available to help officers acquire the essential skills they will need for the roles they will assume in the future.

The day continued at the Louis II Stadium with a tour of the facilities and a demonstration of Professional Intervention Techniques (GTPI – Gestes et Techniques Professionnels en Intervention).
The visit concluded at the Public Security shooting range, located within the Monaco Shooting Academy. Princess Charlene had the opportunity to speak with officials from the Public Security Department, as well as with the instructors and trainees.

The role and activities of the Police Academy in recruiting, training, and preparing future police officers—who will be dedicated to ensuring everyone’s safety on a daily basis—remain a cornerstone.
