Odisha Police inks MoU with NLUO to establish Police-Academia Interaction Forum

The forum would focus on facilitating a mutually beneficial interaction among police officials, academics and students.

The Odisha Police has entered into a memorandum of understanding with National Law University Odisha, Cuttack to establish a Police-Academia Interaction Forum (PAIF). 

In the presence of DGP Sunil Kumar Bansal, the chief guest of the ceremony, Vice Chancellor of NLUO Prof Ved Kumari, ADG Arun Bothra of Crime Branch and IG Safeen Ahmed K, the MOU was signed by IG CID-Crime Branch Amitendra Nath Sinha and Registrar of NLUO Prof. Rangin Pallav Tripathy, at the State Police Headquarters of Odisha Police in Cuttack. Faculty and students of NLUO and senior police officers attended the event of signing of the MOU.

The forum would focus on facilitating a mutually beneficial interaction among police officials, academics and students.

As per this agreement, NLUO's students can participate in internships with the Crime Branch of Odisha Police and other wings of the police department and also police officers can attend training courses at NLUO.

The PAIF would facilitate updating the knowledge of police officials regarding various legal issues, developments in the field of law and different legal aspects. Benefiting both the students and the police officials, this would immensely contribute towards the practical aspect of law enforcement and enrich legal education in the country. 

It would provide the students practical exposure to the workings of the police and real-life exposure to investigation and law enforcement through academic interactions and internships in various departments of the state police such as the Crime Branch, Crime Investigation Department (CID-CB), Economic Offence Wing (EOW), State Forensic Laboratory (SFSL), Prisons and others.
