First Central academy for police training to come up in Bhopal

Dehra Dun: Aimed at bringing uniformity in police training in the country, the first Central academy will shortly come up at Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh.

The funds for setting up the training academy are being provided by the Union Home Ministry and 400 acres of land has already been identified for the purpose in Bhopal, Director-General of Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) Vikram Srivastva told reporters here.

Mr. Srivastva said once the academy is set up, it would especially benefit those states which lack infrastructure for police training. “All the police officers recruited as direct gazetted officers or at the level of Deputy Superintendent of Police level, would be trained in the academy.”

He was speaking on the eve of the 41st All-India Police Science Congress (AIPSC) being held for the first time in Uttarakhand.

The academy would also impart training to 500 trainers from the States so that uniformity can be brought about in the police training in the country, he said.

Mr. Srivastva said the Centre has also sanctioned two new Central detective schools, one at Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh and another at Gandhinagar in Gujarat, and the process has already been started for their early establishment. With this, the total number of such schools will rise to five. Others are already being run in Hyderabad, Kolkata and Chandigarh. - PTI
