Brief History of Swami Vivekananda State Police Academy (SVSPA)
After the Independence, Police Training College for West Bengal Police was sanctioned in 1948 to function from the present location at Barrackpore and Barrackpore Training Centre (BTC) was merged with it in 1949 and thus Police Training College (PTC), Barrackpore came into existence. Later the Police Training Centre at Bankura was also amalgamated with the Police Training College. Every year 11th April, is celebrated as the Foundation Day. The PTC Barrackpore has been renamed as Swami Vivekananda State Police Academy since August 2011. Thus, the history of formal police training is over a century old in West Bengal.
