73 IPS officers complete course in better 'policing' in UK

The programme was organised by University of Cambridge in collaboration with O P Jindal Global University during which the IPS Officers interacted with various senior officers of the Greater Manchester Police and underwent training on a wide range of subjects including terrorism, human trafficking, drugs and cybercrime, the Haryana-based University said in a statement.

Vice-Chancellor of O P Jindal Global University, C Raj Kumar said "the programme combined the best of academic, research and policy initiatives in evidence-based policing around the world and other aspects of law and order and criminal justice reform."

This has brought the total number of officers, who have completed their training under the Cambridge-Jindal IPS Training Programme in the last three years to 500.

A total of 73 senior officers of the rank of DIG and IG underwent the training programme, the first six weeks of which were held at National Police Academy, Hyderabad while the final leg of the course was held in the UK, culminating in an award ceremony at National College of Police Leadership there.
