Police Training Center, Rangpur

Police Training Center, Rangpur was incepted in 1972 at Rangpur police lines as the Zonal Police Training School (ZPTS) of Bangladesh Police. As the numbers of the trainees were increasing with the pace of time, the necessity of improving the standard of the training institute was felt. So, it became essential to settle this institute at a different location. Consequently, 20 acres (81,000 m2) of land was acquired on 1 July 1990.
