In its inception, CPTC had remained engaged in training only the constable level within limited resources and training facilities. Now, the changing trend of policing as per the changed political context has demanded well versed and qualified police officers to meet the public expectations. Its prime responsibility apparently lies in developing professional competency of the senior police officers through conducting foundation as well as advanced training courses. To accomplish this objective needs sufficient and well-trained police personnel which is impossible to envisage without the efforts and the contribution of the training institute. NPA is solely responsible for conducting basic and advanced programs of the police officers. NPA relentlessly indulged in new scientific methods and advanced technological adaptations to ensure the new concept of policing. The introduction of improved administrative practices focuses on enhancing qualitative instructors and its training to bring about improvements in administrative, investigative, and overall improvement on police professionals.
