Never expected to get in this place after hearing a lot of people had failed to get inside the main building.
Didnt bother with the outer buildings and went straight to the main building and was happy to get inside.
The College was a fantastic explore, only room I didn't get in was the old library due to a locked door, however the gymnasium and a stunning stair case was the highlight,after an hour of exploring security and police turned up, however they were really nice guys and told me a bit of history on the place.
The College was once home to the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) college,
It had been the operational base for 184 NPIA staff, with more than 1,200 police officers visiting every year for training.
Permission for a major redevelopment of the training centre was granted in November 2006, but the plans were never implemented.
Instead the NPIA announced in 2011 that the site would be closed as part of a massive cost-cutting exercise and the agency itself was then dissolved in October 2013, with the newly formed College of Policing taking over much of its work.
Thanks for looking.
