A select batch of 12 officers from Security Forces completed a two-week training course on preventing terrorist attacks conducted by the United States Government in Hyderabad on Friday.
The officers from National Security Guards (NSG), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and others were trained in preventing terrorist attacks on soft targets, a communique from the US Consulate in Hyderabad said.

Increased training is a component of this commitment”, the communique said.
