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 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.
