Police Training Centre, 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.[citation needed]
Later the Police Training School was upgraded into Police Training Centre (PTC) further developing its standard. Now a Commandant (DIG of Police) commands this Police Training Centre.[1]
