The state of Jammu and Kashmir has enjoyed a special status ever since partition of the country for various reasons. The state known for its natural bounty and beauty has remained the attraction of one and all but unfortunately across the border activities has derailed the normal life in the state by way of extensive terrorist upsurge. The Jammu and Kashmir police has been facing a very complex problem which has arisen in the wake of the terrorist movement that erupted in the state in 1989. The state police have been handling the routine law and order problems; and the terrorism for the last two decades. Thus, police of the state has been under tremendous pressure and to address to the situation it is required that police personnel be prepared with modern know how of police operations and technology and as a result the onus has fallen on the training of police personnel through the state police training academies and institutes.
