The launching of this official website will enhance the accessibility and the visibility of the various capacity building activities undertaken by the Institute.

It is also pertinent to mention that CDTI Chandigarh has been evolving as Centre of Excellence for Organized Crimes and organizing courses on Organized Crimes and providing training to the Police Officers from friendly countries.
