E-Learning Management System to be implemented to train police personnel in T.N. 

:

The Tamil Nadu Police Academy will soon be implementing an electronic Learning Management System (e-LMS), tailored to the training needs of police personnel in the State.

An effective e-LMS will streamline the training process, standardise content delivery, and ensure continuous skill development among officers at all levels.

Following the announcement by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin at the Legislative Assembly, , the government sanctioned funds for the project.

The Director-General of Police, Training and Director of Tamil Nadu Police Academy, Sandeep Rai Rathore told The Hindu, “E-LMS offers a flexible and inclusive solution for the diverse training requirements of police officers. At present, we are able to train our officers/police personnel at the academy, police training schools, and in-service training centres with limited capacity. Now, with this e-LMS, we can train more police personnel every year.”

The challenges posed by geographical disparities and busy schedules does not facilitate traditional class-room based training, and requires innovative and accessible solutions. E-LMS also provides a range of online courses that can be accessed anytime and anywhere at the convenience of the user. This flexibility allows police officers to balance their demanding jobs and the need to acquire essential skills and knowledge.

The curriculum is designed to equip personnel with critical competencies, ranging from effective communication and community policing strategies to advanced forensic techniques and cybercrime investigation. To introduce the e-LMS, the senior officers of TNPA have visited the other similar police academies.

“We are introducing a training management software in which every one in Tamil Nadu Police will have his or her own profile – from constable to DGP level. It will display the number of training programmes an individual personnel attended and other details,” Mr. Rathore said.

The course materials are designed in an interactive format, incorporating text, animations, videos, voice-overs and evaluation modules to enhance learning efficacy.
