Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday that the Lachit Barphukan Police Academy (LBPA) at Dergaon in Golaghat district has evolved into a national-level training institution, with police personnel from several states now undergoing training at the facility.

Speaking after attending the passing-out parade of newly trained Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) and Assam Police Communication personnel at the academy, Sarma said, "Lachit Barphukan Police Academy has now evolved into a national-level institution. Police forces from Assam, Manipur, Goa, and many other states undergo training here."

Passing-Out Parade and New Recruits

The chief minister attended the parade held on Wednesday, where the newly trained officers and personnel completed their training. In a post on X, he said, "More arms to @assampolice as 403 Officers and personnel pass out today from LBPA Dergaon, ready to serve Assam and secure its future."

Sarma also praised the parade, saying, "I had the opportunity to witness the passing-out parade and was impressed by the performance of the personnel," as he congratulated the trainees.

State-Level SP Conference at the Academy

The chief minister announced that the State-Level Conference of Superintendents of Police (SPs) will be held at the academy over the next two days, bringing senior police officials together to discuss key law-and-order issues. "This SP conference plays a crucial role in strengthening the Assam Police," he said, adding that he would remain at the academy during the conference to participate in the discussions.

According to Sarma, the conference will focus on a range of issues concerning policing and public safety, with crimes against women, crimes against children, and the fight against drugs expected to figure prominently in the deliberations. He said, "We will work diligently to advance our efforts regarding issues such as crimes against women, crimes against children, and our fight against drugs," and noted that the discussions would allow senior officials to assess existing policing strategies and examine measures to improve law enforcement.

The chief minister's visit comes as the academy expands its role beyond training Assam Police personnel, with police officials from other states also attending training at the Dergaon-based institution.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
