TRAINING PERSPECTIVE OF ODISHA POLICE FOR NEXT 5 YEARS
|
| Level-1 : |
Every Constable/Policeman must have basic knowledge of law, police manual, police behaviour, drill, turnout, etc. the basic training being given to the police constable recruits should, therefore, be continued. What needs to be done is that the emphasis should be shifted to building stamina, endurance, greater familiarization with weapons, extensive musketry practice and sensitization to the threat of extremists. It must be grilled in them that their main task, for the foreseeable future, would be to fight extremists and not routine work in police stations, or outposts, etc. This training may continue to be given in the state training institutions.
|
| Level- 1A : |
In the case of Sub-Inspectors they should do their basic training in the State Police Training College. The existing training covers law, forensic science, forensic medicine, public order, investigation, human rights, criminology, etc. The training lays the foundation of police work and should be continued. Extra emphasis will have to given on intelligence collection skills, interrogation skills and familiarization with weapons and explosives.
|
| Level- 1B : |
In the case of Dy.S.Ps also, they should do their basic training in the State Police Training College where they are taught Law, Maintenance of Public Order, Criminology, Forensic Science, Forensic Medicine, Investigation, etc., alongwith outdoor subjects like drill, weapon training, musketry, etc.
|
CAPACITY OF THE STATE POLICE FOR BASIC TRAINING AS PER BPR&D NORMS
|
| 1. |
As per option-III of the norms for assessing Police training capacity prepared by BPR&D, New Delhi the training Institute of a State having a Police strength of 10,000 should have the capacity to train 500 police personnel. ( Option-III-3% of strength as retirement vacancy + in-service training of 2 weeks, once in 3 years.). |
|
| 2. |
Considering the strength of Odisha Police Force (53,451); the training capacity should be 2700 approximately per year. |
|
| 3. |
The existing capacity of Odisha is- 1500(BPSPA-300, P.T.C.-500, P.T.S.-250, A.P.T.C., Jharsuguda-300 and UP TTI,BBSR-150). |
|
| 4. |
Thus, the shortfall is of 1200 ( 2700 – 1500) in the training capacity of the State Police. |
|
Govt. of Odisha has approved establishment of a new Police Training Institute with a capacity of 1000 at Bairee under Jajpur District. Besides, a number of new Battalions are being raised. Considering the huge backlog of Basic training of Sepoys and Armed Constables, another new exclusive armed training centre should come up in the State.
|
ADVANCED TRAINING NORMS
|
| Level-II : |
Once the Basic Training-Level-1 is over, they will be sent to the School for weapons & Tactics to learn about the same. This course will be of 8 weeks duration and will give basic training for carrying out police operation in extremist affected areas. The following topics will be taught in these schools: Proficiency in the handling and use of weapons; elementary knowledge of explosives; concept of QRT; field craft engineering; characteristics of various terrains-jungle, riverine, coastal, desert, hills, urban built up areas; tactics used by insurgents; ambush and response to it; area search, vehicle search, personal search in the context of modus operandi used by extremist and terrorists; raids on hostile hideouts; handling and escorting of an apprehended terrorists; flushing of extremists from farm houses, built up areas, etc; cordoning of area/building; road opening patrols; mobile checkpost; night marches; tracking of hostiles & use of tracker dogs; setting up of pickets; long range patrols; convoy protection; endurance building, etc., etc.
|
| Level –II A : |
This course is meant for Sub-Inspectors/Inspectors for a period of 8 weeks and they will be trained at a School for Junior Leaders where they will be taught how to lead personnel in insurgency areas, plan and conduct operations- including Commando operations.
|
| Level –II B : |
This course is meant for Dy.Ss.P. for a period of 3 months and they will be imparted advanced training in Weapons, Tactics etc.
S.O.G. Training and Resource Centre with a capacity to train 500 Police Personnel are expected to meet the requirements of Level-II. AET training has been made compulsory for all I.P.S. Probationers, Cadet S.Is/Sergeants/Dy.Subedars and Constables of SS/IR Bns.
As per the BPR&D norms 3% of the total Police Personnel retiring every year and 3% of the existing personnel below age of 40 years are to be trained every year so that in next 5 years 30% of the Police Force is trained in anti-extremist tactics and counter operations.
