MP Police launches 4-day VVIP security training in Bhopal
Madhya Pradesh Police on Tuesday, 12 May launched a four-day specialised training programme to upgrade VVIP and VIP security protocols, with Director General of Police (DGP) Kailash Makwana inaugurating the course at the Special Branch Training Institute at Shyamla Hills, Bhopal. The initiative signals a concerted push to modernise high-risk protection duties across the state.
About the Training Programme
The VVIP/VIP Security and Protection Course, running from 12 May to 15 May, will train officers and personnel in modern security measures, rapid response protocols, and inter-agency coordination for protectee duties. According to the Madhya Pradesh Police headquarters, the programme combines classroom instruction with practical exercises designed to simulate real-world threat scenarios.
Sessions will cover threat perception, convoy and route sanitisation, access control, explosive detection, emergency drills, and contingency planning. The aim is to standardise standard operating procedures (SOPs) across districts and reduce response time during emergencies involving protected persons.
What DGP Makwana Said
Addressing senior officers at the inaugural session, DGP Makwana underscored the urgency of keeping pace with evolving threats.
