The training of public security professionals is essential in preparing for the roles, responsibilities and activities that these public agents will exercise when exercising their positions. In this sense, this article aims to present the construction and validation stages of an in-depth training impact assessment scale, referring to the Professional Training Course for the new federal police officers, promoted by the Federal Police. The data collection included a sample of 355 police officers, who had graduated from the training course. The scale was object of semantic validation, by judges and empirical, using exploratory analysis of the main components and factor analysis. All procedures for psychometric analysis of the data were adopted. As a result, the instrument was validated with 11 factors and 46 items, containing good psychometric indices (KMO = 0.92 and Cronbach's Alphas of the factors ranging from 0.73 to 0.95). The scale structure proved to be valid and reliable, with very satisfactory psychometric indices. The construction and use of training course evaluation instruments, as presented in this work, is essential to assess training programs carried out by the police, assessing whether they are adequate and effective to train new professionals in the area of public security, enabling theoretical and practical knowledge that will guide its performance.
