Princess Charlene took a direct look at the making of Monaco’s future law enforcement on Monday 9th November, paying a visit to the Sûreté Publique Police School alongside her brother, Gareth Wittstock.

The Princess was received by top officials, including Minister of State Christophe Mirmand, Minister of the Interior Lionel Beffre, and Director of Public Security Éric Arella. The visit offered a comprehensive run-through of the school’s curriculum, from initial classroom modules to the hands-on operational tools used to train incoming officers.

Tactical demos and range training

The morning wasn’t limited to briefing rooms. The delegation headed to Stade Louis-II, where recruits demonstrated real-time intervention techniques.

The tour wrapped up at the Sûreté Publique shooting range at La Carabine de Monaco, featuring a detailed briefing on the service arms and marksmanship training provided to the recruits.

Throughout the visit, Princess Charlene spent time speaking with department heads, instructors, and the recruits themselves, highlighting the school’s central role in keeping the Principality safe.
