The subject matter of Police Reforms runs in my veins,so whatelse can I think? In the last 11 months,I have written 47 articles on police reforms without having a job in the police.I accept that i still unaware of many facts and concerns of the police force but what I have seen,what I have listened,what I have understood,is in front of everyone in the form of my ideas and opinions.I believe that one day,police reforms will be a reality and I will try my best to forge a consensus among the people on the subject matter of police reforms,because only we can give our country a better future.Police is the mirror of our society.Police is an integral part of our life.What police do,develops a certain mindset of the people and what people give,becomes the strength of the police,so it is the two way approach which our society and police should adopt but unfortunately police is not able to satisfy the people and people are not willing to give and the result is in front of us.Today,I m giving a 10-Point which I think is the best way of making our police force better than ever.Political will comes first which will work as a painkiller for the police organization because police is the two eyes of politics.Then comes the major and basic concern i.e to say about salary which plays the most important role in restructuring the whole organization.When the children of our policemen will not be able to study properly,when a policeman will not be able to spend a part of his income on health,when a policeman will not be able to ensure better future for his children,when a policeman will not be able to fulfill the basic needs of his family then how can the expectations of a common man come true?”Health is Wealth”,but health of a policeman is getting the same importance in the organization as the today the whole issue water conservation is getting in the society.Yoga should be incorporated in the daily life of a policeman because the policeman who are defending us should be hale and hearty.Modernisation is the life long support of our police force because it is a countinuing process.Incidents of people-police clash have increased manifold and our policemen still havn’t get the basic instruments to save themselves from the rage of people.Environment provides happiness,motivation,commitment,satisfaction and the willingness to do a job but the police force is surrounded by the political environment which is like a cancer for the whole organization.Political interference should be kept out of the appointments made in the police force.Politics should become the strength of the police force,not the weakness.Accountability is the prime factor of regulation in any organization.Accountability should be fixed for the IPS Officers because they become the dictators and suspend the lower rank policemen and lower rank policemen are also harassed by the senior officers and in Uttar Pradesh,senior rank police officials have adopted the ideology of the ruling government which is a death of welfare state and the violations of the police rules and manuals.We are living in the era of Informaition Technology but unfortunately this technology has not been incorporated in the police department upto the desired extent.Computerization of police stations is a good decision but it should not become the last step because IT brings transparency.Transparency in the police department will come through several measures like online registration of an FIR,opening up the website of every district police,records of local and high profile criminals should be put on the District Police Website,every policeman should be given computer education to tackle cyber crime,every police jeep should be fitted with GPS by which the reality of police patrolling should be known to all.Trust comes through transparency and the trust deficit between police and people is known to all.Janta Darbar should be organized by every Superintendent of Police at District level and by SHO at every police station and the report card of the SHO should be made by the people of that particular area.Do everything to bridge the trust deficit.In the last,I would like to focus on people cooperation which is a vital pillar of strong and effective police force.People should try to interact with our policemen,policeman comes from a similar society in which we live.What we teach our children,will shape the future of the entire nation.Policeman is also a child of someone.I know that policeman needs to learn about how to behave with a common man,about the moral ethics which doesn’t reflect by the working pattern of the police department but it doesn’t mean that we will discard them from the society.People should think with relaxed mind about the problems of a policeman.Media,Civil Society,NGOs should bring the attention of the
.people towards police reforms as they are doing in other areas like corruption,saving environment etc.
