“We have now hired top professors of IIMs and IITs to conduct studies like requirement of police personnel in 8 hour duty, police performance in terrorist areas and crime against women,” said Vikram Srivastva, Director General, Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D).
“These are the studies where serious thoughts are being given so that effective recommendations can come out to strengthen the police system in India. These studies will be completed in six months time and after that we will decide our next course of action accordingly,” Srivastva said.
With an aim to bring uniformity in police training in India, he said, a central academy, the first of its kind, will shortly come up at Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh and the funds for setting it up is being provided by the union ministry of home affairs.
A total of 400 acres of land has already been identified for the purpose in Bhopal. Srivastva said this academy would impart training to gazetted officers at the level of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and prepare a team of 500 such trainers to lend help at the state level.
He said the centre has also sanctioned two new central detective schools, one at Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh and another at Gandhinagar in Gujarat. With this, the total number of such schools will get to 5 in the country, where specialized training courses such as forensic evidences will be run. Nearly 5,000 police officers would get training in 30 courses from these schools during the current financial year.
Srivastva added under BPR&D’s National Police Mission, six micro missions have been started for human resource development, community policing, communication and technology, infrastructure development with area specific requirements, new processes and soft skill training.
