Rajasthan emerged as a result of the
merger of a number of former princely states and some parts of the British
India. Prior to the merger almost all the States had some sort of an independent
police force, each having its own system of administration and each such
force was linked with the individuality of the Rulers of these States.
With the emergence of the State of Rajasthan, the Rajasthan Police also
came into existence. Members of the various police forces were selectively
absorbed into the new Rajasthan police force. The process of having a
uniform police force for the entire State shaped to meet the needs of
the people.
The need for proper training to the personnel of the force was felt which
led to the establishment of the first training institute of Rajasthan
Police in 1949 police in the historic fort of Chittorgarh. Geographical
and administrative factors contributed to the shifting of this institute
to Kishangarh. The first batch of the trainees joined at Kishangarh on
1st may, 1950. Thus it became the main training institute of the State
and continued to function as such at Kishangrah till August, 1975.
In August, 1975 the institute was shifted to its present location at Jaipur,
and was upgraded to the status of an Academy. The foundation stone of
the administrative block of this institute was laid on the 24th October,
1975. The Academy was formally inaugurated by the then Hon'ble Chief Minister
of Rajasthan, Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, on the 3rd July, 1978.
Earlier, the State Government had appointed a committee, headed by Shri
Ganesh Singh, the then Addl. Inspector General of Police for reorganization
of police force. This committee, which was constituted in October, 1973
considered all aspects of the re-organization of Rajasthan Police. The
committee conducted a detailed examination of the training facilities
available at Rajasthan Police, and as a result of the acceptance of its
recommendations made thereafter, many basic changes have been made in
the Academy. A separate post of Inspector General of Police, (Training)
was created in April, 1980.
Training has an important role to play for police personnel in framing
attitudinal change. The role of police is constantly undergoing change
to keep consonance with the aspirations of the people. The training becomes
important not only for the police department but for the society as a
whole. The Gore Committee (1971) has come out with the most comprehensive
document on police training in the country. Its recommendations are being
incorporated in the various syllabi. Training aids and methods are also
being used, in accordance with the recommendations of the Gore Committee.
