Trust deficit must be removed

An administration without a police executive is powerless.Police is the most effective weapon for maintaining Law and Order in the state.Police is always connected with our daily life.You can imagine a town without a police force.Whatever happens in police force ,that affect us.Today, the function of police has increased manifold.Now police is not only responsible for maintaining law and order,it has the responsibility of bridging a gap between the police and people and to make the environment peaceful and full of trust.Actually,due to heavy workload police is not be able to perform these type of tasks and it leads to mistrust between a policeman and aam aadmi in the modern society.The expectations of people are high from the police.But due to increasing mistrust,people don’t do complain to them because people’s perception is that they won’t get anything by registering an FIR.It is true upto some extent but this not the whole truth.It’s true upto some extent but this is not the whole truth.
                                                                    Community Policing is the best way to bridge trust deficit.Community Policing connects people directly to police and people can understand the work culture of police.Uttar Pradesh Police desperately needs this.For this,seminar on police people interface,general assembly can be organized by the police forces in their respective areas.Presence of children is must in these type of assemblies because children generally have a fear for police in their mind and they don’t want to interact with a policeman.In the near future,police will face too many new challenges and cooperation with people is essential to overcome these challenges.So,police should be ready to face the modern time.
