Context: This study proposes an ICT-based instructional methodology to strengthen the digital competencies of 393 police service candidates at 'La Esperanza' School, recognizing the importance of these skills in contemporary police training. Methodology: A quantitative-descriptive design was implemented to diagnose the level of digital competencies of the candidates according to the DigComp 2.2 framework, evaluating five dimensions: information and data literacy; communication and collaboration; digital content creation; security; and problem solving. Results: The diagnosis revealed an intermediate-competent level in the five dimensions evaluated, with deficiencies mainly in digital content creation and digital security. The study highlighted the positive impact of ICT use integrated through active instructional methodologies in the development of digital competencies. Conclusions: Based on the findings, an instructional model was designed adapted to the institutional context and the specific needs of police candidates, which seeks to reinforce the areas with the greatest deficiencies and enhance the integral development of digital competencies relevant to police service.
