Training school in Rajpura to produce super cops
Rajpura, May 24 Police officials, most of them young recruits, from different units and battalions of the Punjab Police will be trained here. The cops will be deployed on deputation and will get special uniform, pay and weapons, besides training, at the school. Their chief task will be to fight terrorists and
provide security to VIPs and politicians. A senior police official of Punjab Police has said the SSG will be shaped on the lines of the National Security Guards and cops will undergo strenuous training sessions at the training school. They will get advanced training by experts to fight terrorist groups and to protect VIPs and ministers. Different training sessions will gradually be added later on. This school will be a first-of-its-kind initiative in Punjab, wherein a super-specialised force will learn to use sophisticated weapons and undergo challenging physical training. IG Sanjeev Kalra has confirmed that the land has been allotted for the training school and money will be
deposited soon to get possession of land. “There will be two components of the SSG, VIP security and special weapon and tactics team. The force will get regular training at the school and recruitment for specialised forces will be done gradually,” he has said. The IG has refused to divulge further details, citing security reasons. Sources in the police have said the SSG will comprise at least 800 cops, who will undergo special training in a phased manner to combat terrorism and provide unprecedented security to VIPs. A quick reaction team (QRT) will also be formed. Israeli security experts, who recently visited here, had trained 60 cops. Twenty of these cops have been appointed trainees for
this QRT team. Panchayat land of the village will be given on lease at a cost of Rs 25,000 per acre and there will be a 10 per cent increase in the amount every three years. The police department will deposit the lease amount with the gram panchayat in April every year, failing which the lease will be cancelled. Strenuous training
