Over 3k cops trained under advanced training since 2022
Previously, the training programme accommodated approximately 50 officers monthly, but this increased substantially to 350 officers per month, with each batch receiving two weeks of intensive training. The most recent training session, the 171st ATS batch, was conducted from July 8-21, 2025, where 346 police officers, including police inspectors and directly recruited sub-inspectors, received comprehensive training, said a senior official of police headquarters (PHQ) on Thursday.
The three new criminal laws, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), came into force from July 1, 2024. These laws replaced Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and Indian Evidence Act, respectively.
Additional director general (ADG) of crime investigation department (CID), Sunil Kumar, said under these laws, some new provisions were made and emphasis was placed on the use of new technologies for the investigation and trial of cases.

"In such a scenario, it is extremely necessary to provide special training in modern technologies and research methods to police officers and personnel from time to time during their service period so that they can become more capable, knowledgeable, and technically proficient.
This will enable them to play a better role in maintaining peace and order in society and establishing the rule of law," he said.
"Located at Bihar Police Academy in Rajgir, the ATS provides enhanced training to police officers focused on modern policing techniques and technologies, including digital forensics, CCTV analysis, mobile data tracking, DNA analysis, fingerprinting, photography and videography.
This modernised approach aims to improve both crime investigation and evidence collection procedures, making them more scientific and effective," the ADG said.
He said the ATS curriculum also includes detailed modules on the importance of physical evidence in investigations, covering aspects such as wound analysis, DNA testing, and collection and analysis of various types of forensic evidence. "Participants are trained in utilising modern technological tools for investigation, including the latest developments in mobile and computer forensics," Kumar said, adding, "Officers receive instruction on FIR procedures, preliminary investigation protocols, and relevant police orders.
Special attention is given to the documentation of relevant facts, disputed matters, witness statements, and confession recordings."
According to him, the programme also covers comprehensive investigation procedures for both bodily harm and property-related crimes, addressing common mistakes found in daily police records and other procedural errors.
He said a notable inclusion in the curriculum is the detailed explanation of Section 107 of the Indian Justice Security Code 2023, which deals with the seizure of crime-acquired properties, along with procedures under the Bihar Crime Control Act.
"To ensure continuous skill development, the programme emphasises regular training at district headquarters and police station levels for computer operations and various technological applications," he said.
The CID ADG further said, "To further enhance expertise, the department is collaborating with premier institutions like CBI and National Investigation Agency (NIA). Officers are also sent to prestigious training institutes across India for specialised courses."
He added that the next training session is scheduled to commence on August 1, 2025, continuing the department's commitment to building a more competent and technologically advanced police force in Bihar.

One killed, 10 injured as fire breaks out at hospital in East Delhi
One person was killed while 10 others — including eight patients — were rescued after a fire broke out at Kosmos Hospital in East Delhi's Anand Vihar on Saturday afternoon. Fire officials said the blaze has been brought under control, and firefighting operations are underway. A hospital staffer who was in the bathroom died from suffocation. According to fire officials, a call regarding the blaze was received at 12.12 pm, following which seven fire tenders were rushed to the location. By 3 pm, the fire was brought under control. Of those rescued, seven have been admitted to a nearby hospital while three others escaped with minor injuries. Police officials said the fire broke out in a server room on the ground floor of the hospital. 'Eight patients and three hospital staffers — Amit (housekeeping staff), Har Devi and Naresh (dialysis room staffers) — were rescued and shifted to Pushpanjali Hospital,' said DCP (Shahdara) Prashant Priya Gautam. Police said Amit was declared dead at the hospital. 'It appears he initially rushed to the roof, but later locked himself in the bathroom on the third floor to escape the blaze. His body is being shifted to the mortuary for an autopsy,' said the DCP. A case under sections 287 and 106(1) of the BNS is being registered,' the officer said. The others are stable. In a deadly blaze on May 25 last year, seven newborns were killed and four infants rescued after a massive fire broke out at the Baby Care New Born Hospital in Vivek Vihar. A suspected short circuit in the generator, which had been stored on the roof of the building, had sparked the blaze. It then spread to oxygen cylinders stored in the hospital, leading to multiple explosions. Sixteen fire tenders were called to the spot almost 30-35 minutes later. The police, in their chargesheet, had flagged several violations: the hospital had no fire safety equipment, no qualified nurses, the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was housing more beds than the sanctioned strength, and more cylinders than prescribed were being stored in a hazardous manner.
