Police Training School was for the first time started in 1892 at Bangalore, followed by similar schools in different districts during 1897. During 1913, one well equipped training school was opened at Mysore under the charge of a principal and a few exclusive staff to impart training to the newly appointed recruit police constables of five districts. Subsequently, in the year 1948, one Combined Police Training School was opened at Bangalore to train the new recruits. Subsequently with the inclusion of Mysore State to the India federation and after the abolition of Infantries, the combined P.T.S. building came up at Mysore in the year 1952. The arrangements were made to impart training to all ranks of police officers there.
In the year 1958, the name was changed from 'Police Training School' to 'Police Training College' and training was started for gazetted probationers, sub-inspectors and head constables due for promotion. During 1975, the Police Training College was shifted to the new building. However, accommodation and other facilities continued to exist in the old campus. Fully furnished library, laboratory, gymnasium, exhibition hall, photography session, audio-visual instruments, hospitals etc. are situated here, in addition to the outdoor and indoor training facilities.
In the year 1992, the name `Police Training College' was changed to "Karnataka Police Training Academy".
At present, directly recruited sub-inspectors and deputy superintendents of police are given basic training in the Academy. In addition to this, Indian Police Service (IPS) probationers are also trained here after the basic training at National Police Academy, Hyderabad. The Academy also trains Deputy Superintendents of Police for Prison Department, Deputy Superintendents of Excise, Regional Transport Officers, Motor Vehicle Inspectors as well as Probationers of Indian Forest Service.
The Academy is also rendering its special service to the in-service officers of different ranks by giving them short-term training in subjects like police- public relations, seminar on human rights and other professional subjects. The Academy takes responsibility in making the trainees physically fit and efficient in their jobs.
The training is scheduled as per the recommendation of the Gore Committee.
In the in-door classes, Penal Code, Criminal Penal Code, Evidence Act, crime prevention and detection, use of scientific methods in investigation, human behaviour, police duties and role of police in modern India etc., are taught to the probationers. Awareness about computers is also organised.
In the out-door training, subjects like physical exercise, Yogasana, horse-riding, swimming, motorcycle and jeep driving, unarmed combat, rifle and revolver shooting practices etc. are imparted in addition to the drills and parades. Apart from these conventional subjects, special emphasis is given on human rights, protection to the weaker sections, women and children and police-public relations etc.
