ASEANAPOL and India Advance Cooperation on Police Capacity Development

New Delhi, India | 18 September 2026

On 18 September 2026, 1500 hr the ASEANAPOL Secretariat held discussions with Mr. Ravish Shah of Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) to advance ASEAN–India cooperation in police capacity development and law enforcement training.

RRU, an Institution of National Importance under India’s Ministry of Home Affairs, will serve as an important partner in developing structured training programmes for police officers from the 11 ASEANAPOL Member Countries.

Both sides agreed to work towards jointly developing curricula covering ASEANAPOL’s eight core crime areas, with training at basic, intermediate and advanced levels, as well as Training of Trainers (ToT) programmes. India is expected to support the delivery of these programmes for ASEANAPOL Member Countries.

The initiative marks a practical step in strengthening ASEAN–India law enforcement cooperation, transforming partnership into sustained capacity building and stronger operational capabilities across the region.

Think with Vision, Act with Unity and Deliver with Results – for Together, we keep this region safe.
