IPA SPAIN: IV International Tactical Police Congress

Dear IPA Friends,

The IPA Spain National Section invites you to participate in the:

IV International Tactical Police Congress, an event designed to bring together and share the most advanced knowledge in the field of security and police tactics.

The Tactical Police Congress was created as a space for training, exchange, and professional development, where the best instructors from IPA Spain will combine their experience to offer participants the latest techniques and trends in key areas such as operational intervention and tactical first aid, among other highly relevant disciplines.

Furthermore, true to the IPA spirit, this Congress promotes the camaraderie, cooperation, and teamwork that characterize the international police community.

This year, for the first time at a Tactical Police Congress, there will be a live-fire exercise. The Congress program consists of three options:

– OPTION 1: Live-Fire Congress: with a theoretical component and practical exercises with live fire. Ammunition is included in the registration fee, and there are only 50 places available.
