Lucknow, Apr 24 (PTI) The passing out parade of 986 women constables trained at the Recruitment Training Centre (RTC) of Police Commissionerate here will be held on April 26 at the Reserve Police Lines, with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath set to attend the function.
A total of 60,244 constables were selected under the Constable Civil Police Recruitment-2025.
The women constables have been trained in modern policing, cybercrime, among others, the UP government said in a statement on Friday.
The programme will begin at around 8 am, and will be live telecast at Police Lines, PAC battalions, and training institutions in all districts of the state. This will simultaneously convey a strong message of women’s empowerment and the increasing participation of women in the police force across the state, the government said.
From 1947 to 2017, only about 10,000 women were recruited into the UP Police, whereas after 2017, this number rose to around 44,000-45,000, it claimed. Now, it has been made mandatory that 20 per cent of police recruitment in the state be reserved for women, it added.
Women constables trained under Constable Civil Police Recruitment-2025 have received not only physical training, but also training in all essential aspects of modern policing.
The training included social policing, prevention of cybercrime, modern technology, CCTNS, forensic science and medicine, weapon handling, crime control, investigation, police prosecution, security management, disaster management, traffic management and police radio communication systems.
Special emphasis was also placed on the Indian Constitution, human rights, gender sensitivity, police functioning, discipline, ethics and accountability.
Under practical training, the constables were also made proficient in activities such as guard duty, escorting detainees, lock-up duty, uniform protocols, identifying officers’ ranks by uniform, saluting procedures, yoga, sports and community service. This training is considered a significant step toward preparing women constables as modern, sensitive and capable police personnel, the statement added. PTI NAV SKY SKY
