The Central Detective Training Institute, Chandigarh was set up in 1973. There are five CDTI’s in India located at Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Kolkata Jaipur and Ghaziabad functioning under Bureau of Police Research & Development, Ministry of Home Affairs. The objective of the CDTI is to provide training to inservice police personal upto the rank of Dy. Ss.P.
Among the several courses run by the institution, the course of the longest duration (10 weeks) is Advanced Cource on Investigation & Detection of Crimes for the police personal of the ranks of Sub Inspectors and Inspectors having minimum 5 years experience in their respective fields. In this course the police personnel are trained on various aspects of Scientific Aids to Investigation as well as Law & Procedure and professional knowledge. The syllabus of the course is chalked out by BRP&D and is upgraded regularly to make it more relevant and topical.
It’s a matter of great pleasure that Central Detective Training Institute Chandigarh has now its own website. The website will carry information about the activities carried out in the institution. During the current calendar year 2025-26, CDTI Chandigarh is organizing 42 courses on various subjects for the Police Officers, Judicial officers and Prosecutors and 12 webinars/awareness programs. Majority of the courses are based on our Centre of Excellence, i.e. on Organized Crimes. I am sure that the information uploaded on the website will benefit the Law Enforcement Agencies in keeping themselves update about the training calendar of CDTI, Chandigarh. It is my humble appeal to the State Police Organizations and the Central Police Organizations to fully utilize the seats by nominating the suitable police officers.
The valued feedback of the State Police Organizations and the Central Police Organizations is solicited to further improve upon the contents of the Website and the courses conducted at CDTI, Chandigarh.
