Abstract
Maintenance of peace in the society by improving law and order situation is the responsibility of police. Police training is one of the critical problems of the world including Pakistan. The routine application of police training is outdated now, as, in past the role of police was restricted to ordinary crime prevention only. Police responsibilities increased many fold in the shape of countering terrorism after the terrorist incident of 9/11. The rationale for this was that, in past police in Pakistan did not face such issue of terrorism. This situation significantly increases the need for new and modern training for law enforcement personnel at all levels. Every aspect of police training has a role in improving police efficiency. There is a need to reorganize the whole structure of police training. This paper serves as a focal point for law enforcement and policymakers at all levels of government to know about the constraints in police training and to see the benefits of regular training and the opening of new specialized police training schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan and the need of further advance training and education.
