The Institute for Comprehensive Security and Emergency Training (IFISE) of the Community of Madrid trained a total of 9,117 professionals and volunteers during 2025, exceeding 9,000 individuals for the third consecutive year and solidifying its position as a national reference center.

This figure, which has shown an upward trend over the past three years, highlights the importance of IFISE as one of the leading institutions for specialized security and emergency training nationwide.
The largest group to receive training was local police officers, with 2,018 agents participating in various programs. Of these, 961 received basic instruction for new recruits, covering areas such as citizen assistance, professional techniques and training, and road safety.
The remaining officers participated in promotion or specialization courses, framed within the regional Comprehensive Security Strategy (ESICAM179). These programs addressed topics such as the use of electric pistols, hate crimes, gender violence, crowd control, violent youth groups, and drone operations.
In addition to police, IFISE's facilities hosted over 2,000 students from regional emergency services. Specifically, 1,934 firefighters, 124 forest agents, and 63 medical personnel from the Emergency Medical Service (SUMMA112) received training. The Institute also held various conferences attended by 1,596 professionals from these organizations.
In the field of Civil Protection, 369 volunteers accessed basic training for new members or specialized training for group leaders. IFISE, which falls under the Madrid 112 Security and Emergency Agency (ASEM112), not only trains personnel from the Community of Madrid but also opens its doors to other state institutions such as the National Intelligence Center (CNI), the National Police, and the Civil Guard.
Last year, 1,790 members of these forces practiced at its shooting range, considered one of the best in Spain, and 1,112 used other areas of the complex for their training. The complex, located in the capital, spans 130,444 square meters and features classrooms, offices, an auditorium, a gym, an indoor practice house, the shooting range, sports courts, and an extensive area for simulations and driving practices.
