The cutting-edge foreign attachment would further sharpen their skills to tackle new challenges back home
The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, the country’s premier police training school, is all set to enter into an agreement with the French government for the exchange of cadets for imparting training. This cutting-edge foreign attachment would further sharpen the skills of IPS probationers to tackle new-age challenges back home. Cybercrime, terrorism, urban policing are some of the evolving areas of concern so far as policing is concerned. Speaking to The Hindu, SVPNPA Director Atul Karwal said that Ambassador of France to India Emmanuel Lenain, along with some senior police officers of his country, had visited the NPA a few months ago to explore the possibilities of exchange of IPS probationers from India and French senior police officers for advanced training here. “We have to wait and see where it takes,” Mr Karwal said. For the past few years, NPA has been sending its probationers for foreign training in Israel. However, due to international restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the foreign attachment programme has been called off.More Related News
