E-Policing is the transaction of services and information between the police and citizens via the internet.Uttar Pradesh Government strongly needs to introduce E-Policing in police department.Now,the questions arises that why Uttar Pradesh Government would have to step in for introducing this modern system of policing,why not the police department? Actually,E-Policing requires a lot of fund for infrastructure development,computerization of police stations,connecting the police stations with each other through internet which is a difficult task in rural areas,give effective training to policemen so that they are able to meet the challenges of this modern function of police.In Uttar Pradesh,condition of police infrastructure is very bad which is the root cause of delay in police modernization.First of all,it is essential to make a effective strategy and planning to introduce E-Policing in the state.Today,in Uttar Pradesh infrastructure of police stations is in very bad condition.Lack of electricity supply,poor condition of furniture,lack of accommodation facilities,lack of basic services are the big hurdles in the way of introducing E-Policing.After that,computerization of all the 1458 police stations and providing the fund for maintainance of computer systems is the second task which the government would have to finish to introduce E-Policing.Third task is to provide accessibility of internet services to all the police stations and this task will only be finished when when all the police stations are connected with each other through internet.Fourth task is to provide computer education to our policemen and make them trained to handle this kind of challenge.Fifth task is to provide the directives to all the District Police Chiefs(DPCs) to make the website of District Police in which all the information related to district would be stored and the sixth and the most important task is to make the police department accountable.The time has arrived,when the Uttar Pradesh Government needs to spend more on police modernization instead of spending more and more on parks which are made up of stones.
