A Battle-Fit Police

Context:

A conference of the Directors General of Police of all the states and union territories was held, organised by the Intelligence Bureau which highlighted the increasing security-related problems and the need for reforms in policing model.

Highlighted concerns in the Conference:
  • The increasing rate of Crime: The events of chain-snatching, kidnapping, robbery, murder, communal riot, terrorist outrage or any other law and order situation is increasing and police interventions are neglected in terms of reforms.
  • Overpendency of cases: The overburdening of police staff makes them inefficient and affects their working condition.
  • Tougher conditions of work: Since Independence, 36,044 police personnel have died in the performance of their duties. Police duties in India are tougher than in any other part of the world.
