Jammu: An inauguration ceremony marking the commencement of the Counter-Insurgency cum Counter-Terrorism Refresher Course for J&K Police personnel was held today at Tiger Division.
Additional Director General of Armed Police, J&K, Anand Jain, and the GOC, Tiger Division, along with other senior officials of the Indian Army and the Jammu & Kashmir Police, were also there to hold an important deliberation on the counterinsurgency.
The refresher course, scheduled from April 7 to 18, 2026, has been jointly conceptualised by the senior leadership of the Indian Army and the J&K Police. The initiative aims to further enhance operational synergy, coordination, and standardisation of procedures in the complex and evolving security environment of Jammu & Kashmir.
A total of 108 police personnel will be trained at the Miran Sahib Brigade. The training will cover a wide spectrum of operational aspects, enhancing skills for counter-terrorism effectiveness. Personnel will also be trained in new-generation equipment, drones, and counter-drone measures.
The course focuses on strengthening junior leadership capabilities, which play a critical role in the execution of small-team operations in counter-terrorism scenarios.
Over the years, numerous joint operations by the Indian Army and J&K Police in areas such as Kathua, Dudu–Basantgarh, Doda, Kishtwar, and Rajouri have highlighted the importance of seamless coordination, shared situational awareness, and mutual trust. This refresher course will further consolidate these strengths and enhance interoperability between security forces at the tactical level.
Senior officials emphasised that such joint training initiatives are essential for building a coordinated, disciplined, and well-prepared response to emerging security challenges.
The initiative reflects the continued commitment of the Indian Army and the J&K Police towards maintaining peace, stability, and security in the region.
