Discipline is an ornament of personality,but unfortunately,Uttar Pradesh Police has failed to keep it secure in its custody.

Political apathy and pathetic response from police administration is impeding the process of thinking  about police reforms in an open-minded way and with a comprehensive view.

The issue of National Security is falling into the rift of political mistrust and constitutional principles.National Security is definitely a collective responsibility of center and states,but when the matter of implementing  the police reforms comes,then states look in its backyard to find a political argument,which is completely out of my understanding.If India constitutes any intelligence or counter-terrorism agency,which has specialties brought from the heaven,would not be able to reach its destination until and unless it is backed by police reforms.

What a common man understands about police reforms,is three or four things;first,a police officer should not be transferred frequently without any justifiable reason.Second,no complainant should be denied from registering a FIR.Third,a thick line of political interference or influence of powerful persons should not be drawn anywhere in the whole process, starting from registering a FIR and taking the culprit to the court.Fourth,the tradition of police officers serving political bosses should not be followed at any cost.The aforementioned four points make an introduction for elaborating the whole theory of police reforms,but,Who will explain to the people about the importance of motivation among police personnels? Who will explain to the people about the sufferings of police personnel caused by the lack of basic amenities like poor housing,negligible incentives,existence of old weaponry system in the time of modern security environment,exploitation on the part of senior police officers,working with traditional and conventional tools to control the rising crime graph in the state? Who will explain to the people about the condition of poor infrastructure of police stations? Who will explain to the people about the necessity of minor things,which in an overall perspective will have a deterrent effect on a police personnel adopting unfair means or offer bribe to fulfill his needs? Who will explain to the people the thinking of a police personnel towards a common man? Who will explain to the people about the need of structural reforms,behavioural reforms,ethical reforms in police organization? Without emphasizing on these issues,the theory of police reforms would not be able perform a result oriented experiment,which is beneficial for the whole society.But,again a million dollar question arises,that,Who will take the first step?

The issue of police reforms always remains on the backstage, promoting the rude and stubborn face of political drama in the show and this drama ends with a message saying that,we(political class) will continue to interfere at every level of your(police department) effort and the buck doesn’t stops on our desks.

The time has come now,when a Chief Minister need to think about adding an item of police reforms in the list of their issues served in his/her breakfast.

If State Police doesn’t have the capability and capacity to prevent terrorist attacks or subverting terrorism,then it will be the nightmare scenario for those agencies operating in a centralized command,without having a better coordination among state security institutions

What kind of a training we are giving to our police forces?What kind of curriculum we are providing them to study?Would we be able to meet the challenges of Terrorism thorugh the establishment of NIA and NCTC? Are we looking at the sky by establishing these national centres and forgetting to work on the ground? Are we inviting the terrorists to buy and develop new technology rather then providing it to our security forces? If this kind of environment continues to be prevail in our country,then,I belive,one day,the issue of police reforms would override  all the issues among people of our country.

The problem of unwanted political intrusion in the principles of policing,for fulfilling the political desire,has been festering the issue of police reforms for a long time.

Dispise the idea of accepting the theory of police reforms clearly reveals an error in the welfare policy of the government.
