What is All India Police Duty Meet:

The All India Police Duty Meet is organized annually by BPRD, in collaboration with sports verticals of state and central police forces,  with the aim of improving the standards of professional performance in the Police Forces of India. Started in 1953 as Rifle and Revolver Shooting Competition, it has gradually grown to its present form covering various aspects of investigation of crime, particularly those relating to scientific and technical aids to investigation.

There has always been a need for bringing together Police men from various districts/ranges so that they could discuss the problems common to them and their possible solutions and exchange good practices . It is thought that by organizing such Police Duty Meet, the participants would gain from each other’s experiences which would result in greater efficiency and improvement in the standard of professional performance of the entire force. The increase in the professional capacity would ultimately benefit the common citizen. The image of the police would also rise in the eyes of civil society, media, judiciary, polity . thereby the confidence level of Junior and middle level police leadership would considerably go up.

Aim: The aim of the Certificate Course in Police Professional Performance Enhancement (C-P3E) is to provide comprehensive training and upskilling to police professionals, enabling them to enhance their performance, effectiveness, and professionalism in their respective roles.

2. Enhance Tactical Proficiency: Enhance the tactical proficiency of police professionals through specialized training in areas such as anti sabotage, scientific aids to investigation techniques, canine handling, crowd control, and response to critical incidents.
3. Improve Investigative Techniques: Provide training in advanced investigative techniques, evidence collection, crime scene management, forensic analysis, and other essential skills to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of police investigations.
4. Foster Community Engagement: Promote community-oriented policing by training police professionals on building trust, developing positive relationships with the community, and implementing strategies for effective community engagement and collaboration.
5. Strengthen Ethical Conduct: Reinforce ethical standards and professional conduct among police professionals, emphasizing integrity, fairness, respect for human rights, and adherence to legal procedures.
6. Enhance Leadership and Management Skills: Develop leadership and management capabilities among police professionals at all levels, enabling them to effectively lead teams, make sound decisions, manage resources, and adapt to dynamic law enforcement challenges.
7. Improve Mental and Physical Well-being: Provide tools and techniques to promote the mental and physical well-being of police professionals, including stress management, resilience building, self-care, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
8. Promote Professional Development: Encourage continuous professional development among police professionals by fostering a culture of lifelong learning, encouraging participation in training programs, workshops, and seminars relevant to their roles and responsibilities.
9. Foster Interdepartmental Collaboration: Facilitate collaboration and knowledge-sharing among different police departments including FSL, FM, FB, NARCOTIC,  fostering a cohesive and coordinated approach to law enforcement and public safety.
10. Enhance Public Perception: Aim to improve the public perception of law enforcement agencies by equipping police professionals with the necessary skills, knowledge, and professionalism, thereby building trust and strengthening the relationship between the police and the community.

By achieving these objectives, the C-P3E course seeks to empower police professionals with the tools and capabilities necessary to excel in their roles, promote public safety, and contribute to the overall well-being of the communities they serve.
