Current Scenario> Problems in Police Force> Police inefficiency> Training of police personnel

Training of police personnel is compulsory at all the four levels in the system. The general training programme for the police recruits is satisfactory, but could be improved in the field of police investigators, according to the Malimath Committee.

              "There is, thus, a great need to develop and sharpen investigative skills of the

               officers  through  regular  training  programmes  at  the  induction  stage and

              periodical in-service training courses."

Currently there are only three Central Detective Training Schools in India. The small number of qualified training schools complicates the possibility to send police personnel on continuous training. Apart from the inadequacy of specialised training of police investigators many investigators are opposed to transfers and rearrangements in the force . These shortages, together with the inadequacy in modern equipment, result in unprofessional conduct and poor investigations.
