Nonnington Physical Training College?
Not physical training. The majority who passed through this establishment ended up in a uniform of sorts.

Not police, but you are on the right track with a specialist college.

Chunnel?
I can see where you are going with this, but this particular place closed through a lack of funding. Or more accurately an argument over who funds it. Establishments elsewhere have since stepped into the breach.

The pic shown is of one of the accommodation blocks that served the larger establishment that was expanded and rebuilt in the mid 70s. Within 15 years the site was no longer in use, and subsequently demolished.
