Cambridge University to train Indian Police Force
In order to achieve knowledge based policing and provide research based training to police officers, the O P Jindal Global University has signed a formal pact with the University of Cambridge, UK. Academicians from the field of law and crime from both the universities will come together to develop a special training programme and enrich the knowledge of the police officers, says a media report.
Lawrence W Sherman, Wolfson Professor of Criminology and Director, Police Executive Education, Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge told an education-based portal that the university needs to emphasise on training the police executive officers for strengthening the current police system. He also added that knowledge-based policing is essential for a system supported with evidence based crime prevention.
With steps like Crime and criminal tracking network system (CCTNS), Unique Identification Number (UIN) and National Grid already being undertaken by the government for the advancement of the police force, Ashwani Kumar, Director, CBI, said that they welcome the various pacts being signed which will strengthen the Indian policing system.
