In a bid to modernise policing and enhance investigative capabilities, Bihar Police officers from the rank of Sub Inspector to DSP are being trained in cutting-edge technology and updated legal procedures.
The Advanced Training School (ATS) of CID, established in 1945, is conducting the sessions, which cover digital forensics, CCTV analysis, mobile data tracking, DNA, fingerprint analysis, photography, videography, and other modern techniques.
An average of 350 officers undergo 15-day training every month, with eight officers from each district participating. The 173rd batch of the training program is scheduled to begin on September 2. ATS, once a preferred training hub for officers from Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and other countries, has developed a comprehensive training module under the guidance of CID ADG Parasnath.
The training also includes ethics, discipline, FIR and Zero FIR procedures, preliminary investigations, handling disputed facts, witness statements, confessions, human and property crime investigations, arrest procedures, key police orders and court rulings, crime scene photography, e-evidence, CCTNS, and the confiscation of criminal assets.
Police officials are also receiving specialised training at national institutes, including the National Forensic Science University (New Delhi), NCRB, CDTI (Chandigarh), North East Police Academy (Hyderabad), and UMSAW (Meghalaya). By next year, over 2,000 officers are expected to be fully trained and empowered in modern investigative techniques.
