2 Department of Traffic Enforcement

Traffic enforcement is normally referred to, as the
supervision of road users' compliance, with the traffic
legislation, and punishment for non-compliance. The
aim of enforcement is to prevent the occurrence of
road traffic violations by means of control and punitive
sanctions. In India, the legislation for road traffic rests
the responsibility of compliance on the motorized
vehicles only. In other words, there is no legislation that
affixes the responsibility of desired road usage on non-
motorized traffic like the pedestrians, cycle rickshaws,
animal and man pulled vehicles, etc. This department
therefore also looks into the aspects of Educative &
Persuasive enforcement.
Police across the world receive their training and
education at respective police training schools, and
academies. So is the case in India. However, the IRTE
and College are an exception since police officers and
probationers even from the National Police Academy
and other State Police institutions have been receiving
their short-term courses in traffic management and
accident investigation here.

The College has over the years also has had the
opportunity of imparting training to police officers from
Tanzania, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and
Bangladesh.

In addition to traffic enforcement, police officers are
offered courses in accident investigation, crime scene
investigation, traffic regulation, data management,
ITS, and public dealing.
