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 Police Officers, Judicial Officers and Prosecutors and 12 webinars/awareness programs. Majority of the courses are based on our Centre of Excellence, i.e. Organized Crimes.

I appeal to all State Police Organizations and Central Police Organizations to fully utilize the seats by nominating suitable officers.

Feedback from all stakeholders is solicited to further improve the website and training programs at CDTI, Chandigarh.
