Two Training Needs Assessment (TNA) study commenced to support Bangladesh
Police Academy, Sardah, and DMP
A Training Needs Assessment (TNA) study has been designed following a request from the
Bangladesh Police to support the Bangladesh Police Academy in Sardah to carrying out a TNA,
which has not been done formally in many years. The TNA objectives included identifying
priority training areas for the Bangladesh Police Academy to meet the contemporary needs. The
TNA will focus mainly on Basic Training Courses for different ranks. The study design has been
agreed upon by the Academy management. A core team to conduct the TNA has been formed
comprising of police officers from different training institutions. The team members (16
Additional SPs, ASPs and Inspectors) have been provided with 3-day training on TNA. A
facilitator’s guide for the team members has also been developed. The field work for data
collection will be carried out from October to December 2012.
Following a request from the Planning, Research and Human Resource Development section of
the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, another TNA study has been designed to support the DMP in
carrying out the training needs assessment for in-service training for the DMP personnel. As part
of the process, consultations with police personnel at different ranks have started. As at the end
of September 2012 four groups of police (Constables, Corporal/Nayek, Head Constables (Armed),
Assistant Sub-Inspector) have been consulted in different sessions. The consultation process is
continuing and every week a different group of participants at a specific rank is consulted.
