The Scottish Police College is based at Tulliallan Castle, in Kincardine.
Since 1 April 2013, the college has been under the control of the Police Service of Scotland.
In addition to probationer training, the college provides training in various specialist areas, such as Road Policing, Criminal Investigation, and training for newly promoted officers.
The motto of the college is, BI GLIC - BI GLIC, which is the cry of the Oystercatcher which translates from Gaelic as ' Be Wise, Be Circumspect '. Oystercatchers can be found throughout the grounds of the college. The College Crest depicts two Oystercatchers surrounding the crest of the Scottish Police Service which is in itself surrounded by two books to signify learning.
