THE SIXTY first batch of 99 IPS probationary officers, that passed out of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy on Friday, November 6, in Hyderabad, is highly academic and has a contingent of 23 women officers. Eight of these officers are from the Royal Bhutan police.

Out of the 91 Indian IPS officers, 33 are engineering graduates, 14 are M Phil and PhDs and the remaining 24 are doctors, management and law graduates.

These officers completed their 46 week training at the academy, before being a part of the passing out parade, which was held in the presence of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram. These probationers are now being sent to the North East and Jammu and Kashmir for army and paramilitary attachments.

The new batch has also undergone a management module with the local Indian School of Business, a programme that was initiated for the first time by the academy, besides river rafting and scuba driving training.

Apart from this, these officers received training in jungle warfare, along with a new curriculum, which included internal security, investigation, special laws and criminology. They also received the reputed Greyhound training in anti-guerrilla warfare, apart from joining the Tamil Nadu STF in the Satyamangalm forest.

On this day, fearing an attack on the academy, following the revelation of a terror plot to attack the National Defense College, the security here remained on alert and armed guards were posted on the top of the academy building.
