Keeping this in view, the Police Training and Research Institute (PTRI) and Madhya Pradesh Police Academy, Bhopal, working under the Madhya Pradesh Police Department, organized a training session on the subject of Negotiation with the aim of improving and strengthening the skills of the police officers.
This session was a part of their training program for sub-inspectors. Naveen Krishna Rai, Manager, Government Affairs, IIM Indore addressed the sessions.
