The Course is aimed at providing the DSP probationers who have spent around 8 months in Police Academy, an appreciation of the Law Enforcement Issues which inform the Professional Ideals and Police Reforms Agenda in the country through thematic sessions designed to apprise them about key issues and concerns which a new entrant to the police must know. This is done through training by nationally recognised experts in the field of law, law enforcement, justice sector reforms, governance, and public policy.
The Advanced Law Enforcement Course would cover various aspects of: Crime Investigation, Law and Order Management, and Quality of Police Service Delivery. Special provisions for weaker sections and their access to justice would form an important part of the victim-centric approach of the NLUD along with its focus on Law and Criminal Justice sector reforms. The NLUD and MP police have established an understanding with the Delhi Police through which exposure would be also provided to the trainees by visits to some of the best practices that Delhi Police follows in: law enforcement, traffic management, cyber security, and social policing. The trainees would also be given an opportunity to visit National institutions like the Parliament of India and the Supreme Court of India, along with some other field excursions.
