The Scottish Police College is delighted to have been chosen by the Scottish Government to support the development of policing in Malawi.

The Accelerated Careers Development Programme (ACDP) comprises a phased developmental structure aimed at preparing and equipping police officers for senior posts within the Scottish police service. The Programme offers accelerated career challenges and personal growth opportunities which seek to optimise leadership and management potential. It is both highly demanding and highly rewarding.
The primary goal of the Senior Careers Development Service (SCDS) is to enhance leadership capacity and resilience, to ensure that there are sufficient officers and staff capable of meeting the growing leadership challenges at the top of the police service.
