The course was conducted by the Cambridge University in collaboration with the O P Jindal Global University (JGU) at Bramshill, the UK.
The contract for this training programme was offered to the Cambridge and Jindal Universities by the Home Affairs Ministry for strengthening the law enforcement mechanisms of the Indian police through knowledge-based policing, O P Jindal Global University said in a statement.
Vice-Chancellor of O P Jindal Global University, Professor C Raj Kumar said in a statement, "I welcome the interest of the IPS officers in the field of 'evidence-based policing' which is a central focus of our Centre for Penology, Criminal Justice and Police Studies at Jindal Global Law School.
"This collaboration between Jindal, Cambridge and the Indian police is a pioneering initiative that will help address some of the challenges of policing in India by drawing upon the comparative and international perspectives and experiences."
A total of 107 senior officers of the rank of DIG and IG underwent the training programme, the first six weeks of which were held at National Police Academy, Hyderabad while the final leg of the course was held in the UK, culminating in an award ceremony at National College of Police Leadership there.
As part of their training here, the officers underwent daily lecture-workshop sessions, capped by weekly examinations and assessments.
During the UK leg of the course, the officers visited a wide range of police operational activities, including high crime area patrols, communications and dispatch centres, a strategic management command decision event, as well as a high-security prison and Crown Courts.
