Use of Information Technology.

Uttar Pradesh Police lacks in use of Information Technology to tackle crime and for other purposes.In Uttar Pradesh,there are only few districts in which police have maintained their own website.Website is a suitable platform to lodge a complaint and as we know people are getting more and more access to internet,so in that situation importance of website increases.Today technology has become pivotal in our daily work.DPCs should also take an initiative towards this revolutionary step and govt. too needs to add more money in budget allocated to police department.The process of making a Police Station computerized is going on but after making it computerized govt. is not providing the budget to maintain the computers due to which policemen are forced to withdraw money from other sources that is illegal but what they do in this situation? I think there is a immediate need to increase the budget allocation and make Uttar Pradesh Police people friendly in terms of Information Technology.

Quick transfers is the major problem in Uttar Pradesh.

Transfers has became a major problem in Uttar Pradesh Police Department.More than 700 IPS Officers were transferred from one district to another since May 2007.Bareilly has seen 12 SSPs in 6 months.If an officer has received transfer orders then also he is not sure whether he would remain in that distrcit for 24 hours or not because many times an officer get two transfer orders with 24 hours.This is really ridiculous.This is not the way to maintain Law and Order situation in the district..Supreme Court has said that an officer should remain for at least two years in one district but this recommendation has been totally ignored by Uttar Pradesh Government.If an officer doesn't get time to understand the situaition and concerns of a common man then how would be he able to sort out those problems? But,it is also true that few officers start their work immediately after getting posted from one district to another but generally an officer should get sufficient time to control crime in his/her district.
