Key Highlights of the Training Infrastructure
- Total Classrooms: There are currently 135 classrooms available across all centers to facilitate indoor training and law classes.
- Instructor Requirements: To maintain high training standards, the centers require a total of 183 Indoor Instructors and 387 Outdoor Instructors.
- Largest Center: The Police Training School (PTS) at Salua holds the highest capacity, accommodating up to 1,400 recruits.
- Primary Hub: Barrackpore remains a major hub for police training, hosting the Swami Vivekananda State Police Academy (SVSPA) and multiple Battalion Training Centers (TTCs).
Why This Matters for Aspirants
Knowing the "Total Capacity" (8,822) gives aspirants an idea of how many recruits can be trained in a single batch. If the number of selected candidates exceeds this capacity, training is often conducted in phases.
The presence of specialized centers like the CIF (Counter Insurgency Force) in Salua and RAP Training Centre in Kalyani also highlights the specialized tactical training that West Bengal Police personnel undergo.
