Police recruits in the state, will from now on, be trained in rehabilitation centres, deaf and dumb schools and other serviceoriented institutions.
The guest lecturers will not only be from reputed management schools but people such as rickshaw pullers, hawkers and even beggars.
This is being done to bring a “humane face” to the department which has often been branded as anti-people. A training curriculum has already been prepared to be implemented from December. It was prepared by the police training wing.
According to sources in the police headquarters, at least 18,000 constables and sub-inspectors will be trained in 45 training centres across the state.
The constables will also be taught how to invest their earnings rightly so as to reap more benefits.
A senior police officer, who was part of the project says, “The constables will not only be trained to fight terrorism and Left wing extremism but also to become social workers. They will be taught invest ment and finance management techniques to help them lead a disciplined life and keep them away from corrupt practices. ” ‘Why should I be an honest man’ is one of the lessons in the curriculum.
Handling crime scenes, health management, keeping away from social vices, micro management in crisis situations, personality development and other aspects will part of the new syllabus.
Learning to ride twowheelers, driving, swimming, mountain climbing and basic computer skills have been made mandatory for the constables.
The Anantapur Police Training College staff along with a team of 60 experts formulated the syllabus in the last eight months.
With these trained recruits the police will have a major impact on policing in the next three decades.
The state police spokesperson and additional director general of police (law and order), Mr A.K. Khan, said, “The curriculum has been designed to help the police understand the extreme difficulties faced by the common people and under privileged groups.”
