One of the objectives of NCRB is to provide training in IT and Finger Print Science for capacity building in Police Forces in the country. Training Branch of National Crime Records Bureau has been striving hard for achieving this objective.

Each year this branch conducts on an average 22 training programmes for Indian Police Officers. Duration of these courses vary from 1 week to 3 weeks. Training in subjects like Basic Crime Analysis, Programming in .NET, Web Designing, Computer Basics and Office automation, Computer Centre Management, Network and e-Security, Advanced Finger Print Science etc. are conducted. NCRB also conducts the courses on "Train the Trainer" for development of training resource persons in Police. Programmes conducted in NCRB are attended by officers of all ranks including senior IPS officers from States / Union Territories as well as from Central Police Organizations and have been very well received.

Besides training Indian Police Officers, NCRB also conducts 12 weeks’ training programme for Foreign Police Officers under Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation and Special Commonwealth African Assistance Programme of Ministry of External Affairs as well as TCS of Colombo Plan of Ministry of Finance. Two programmes viz., Information Technology for Law Enforcement Agencies and Advanced Finger Print Science and Computers are conducted for these officers. On an average 40 officers attend this programme every year from 22 to 25 countries. This year NCRB hosted 43 officers from 26 countries. As part of the programme these officers spend about 15 days on study tour to Hyderabad, Jaipur and Agra to interact with senior police officers, visit police stations to see actual functioning of Indian Police as well as to study various best practices followed by Forensic experts in these cities for crime detection. These study tours also provide an opportunity to these officers to see various facets to Indian culture and heritage.

Besides having above courses, NCRB also conducts some special courses for Indian as well as Foreign Officers.

NCRB also conducts special work shops for police officers of Delhi and Tamil Nadu Police undergoing recruitment training.

In-house faculty is a right mix of technology and experience that provides right blend for imparting training. Training faculty has also been visiting institutions like National Police Academy as well as various States to conduct workshops and deliver lectures. NCRB also invites persons who specialize in various spheres of computers, cyber crime and forensics and finger print science to deliver lectures for trainees attending courses. Senior officers of Ministry of Home Affairs, State Police, NIC & DIT have also been invited to interact with Trainee Officers on subjects of their specialization.

Along with the change in technology and user requirements, this branch strives to keep changing the methodology and subject of training. Video based training was introduced during this year’s Foreign Police Officers’ training. Foreign Police Officers this year were given input on spoken Hindi so that they are able to interact with local public. Training programmes on Statistical applications developed by NCRB like Crime in India, Accidental and Suicides in India and Prison Statistics have been introduced and included in the annual calendar.
