The European Police Achievement Badge (German: Europäisches Polizei Leistungsabzeichen (EPLA)) (French: Brevet Sportif du Policier Européen) is a decoration offered by the European Police Sports Association (Union Sportive des Polices d'Europe, USPE). It is awarded for proficiency in marksmanship, swimming, and running. The award may be worn as a badge or as a ribbon.

In 1982 the member states of the USPE decided to establish the European Police Achievement Badge in order to promote unity among the European police services and as an incentive for sports in police services.

All members of European security services are eligible. For instance members of the police services, military service members, or members of customs.

The requirements have to be fulfilled within one year. The requirements vary according to age category and gender.
