The course, held from April 3 to 5, saw the participation of 24 officers and officials from the Jammu and Kashmir Police. Designed to enhance professional and interpersonal competencies, the programme focused on emotional intelligence, self-awareness, emotional regulation, expression, soft skills, time and stress management, as well as core communication techniques. Participants also explored the role of media in fostering police-public relations, behavioural change in police organisations, and the significance of professional ethics and human values. The valedictory function was presided over by Rajinder Kumar Gupta, SSP and Deputy Director (Indoor Training), who served as the chief guest. In his address, Gupta underscored the importance of cultivating effective communication, a positive attitude, and public responsibility.
