Out of these, 95 trainees were from Jodhpur, 30 from Tonk, 17 from Rajsamand and 19 from Jaipur. Remaining 27 were from different districts of Rajasthan. The female constables were provided with rigorous training in indoor/outdoor activities, open firing, yoga, meditation and other physical/mental activities.
In these training camps, the recruits received first-hand knowledge on—
- Indian constitution,
- Personality development,
- Human rights,
- Communication skills,
- Leadership skills,
- Police management,
- Indian penal code,
- Indian code of punishment,
- Evidence act,
- Mobile tracking,

- Community policing,
- Disaster management etc.
The new pass-outs are adept in running, weapon handling, firing, mob management, patrolling, ambush, escorting, VIP security, field craft, blockage etc. Realizing the importance of digital technologies in crime scene management, the department took special measures to train them in computer handling, digital record management, fingerprinting, foot print development and digital crime scene management.
Taking inspiration from all-women Udaipur police patrol team, the constables were trained to implement Mukhyamantri Balika Atmaraksha Yojana in Rajasthan. Under this scheme, specialized female constables of Rajasthan police will provide self-defense training to teenagers, especially women in schools and colleges.
Spick and span Rajasthan female constables are determined to save the natives from any form of danger!
