Seychelles Police Academy

At the Seychelles Police Academy, growth happens beyond the classroom. Through our ECA (Extra-Curricular Activities) moments, recruits are stepping out of their comfort zones, challenging themselves physically and mentally, and building the confidence needed to serve with excellence.
ECA sessions promote teamwork, leadership, resilience, and discipline — qualities that are essential in modern policing. Whether through team building activities, physical challenges, or interactive group activities, participants are learning to trust one another, communicate effectively, and adapt under pressure.
These moments are more than activities, they are opportunities to strengthen character, unity, and the spirit of service.
