Basic Course

The purpose of training is to equip Probationers and to build their capacity to be able to meet the field challenges. The primary purpose of the Academy being to prepare leaders for the Indian Police, the Academy organizes basic induction training of new recruits to the Indian Police Service (referred to as Probationers).   At the conclusion of basic training, the course aims to ensure that the Probationers acquire necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes, understanding and behaviour required for effectively discharging the duties as Sub-Divisional Police Officers initially and later for various senior supervisory assignments in the rank of Superintendent of Police in Districts and Specialized units of the Police Department. The ‘Integrated Training’ format being used at the Academy to impart training focuses on fusion of three dimensions: Sensitisation(personal and social), Orientation (ethical and legal) and Competency (domain and inter-segmental).

The Academy further aims at nurturing human values in all its areas of activity to prepare Probationers not only to be good police professionals but also effective and good human-beings.

Thus, the objective of Basic Course training is:

• Capacity building through the matrix of Sensitisation, Orientation and Competency.
• Imparting professional knowledge and understanding.
• Development of professional, Organisational and Community skills.
• Nurturing human values, right attitudes and appropriate behaviour in professional and personal life and inculcating sensitivity.
• Development of overall personality (character, habits, self-discipline, soft skills, norms, values, etiquette, etc.)
• Transforming the Probationers into leaders of Police Stations and Police Districts.
