Kiran Bedi holds out self-discipline principle for young SPs at Police Expo 2018; sets out daily schedule to perform duty better
Jul 27, 2018
NEW DELHI, 27 July 2018: The Lt. Governor of Puducherry, Dr. Kiran Bedi, today set a virtual hour-by-hour time-table for young Superintendents of Police for disciplining themselves and be ready for the day to deal with crime.
"No crime can happen when you have an SP who begins the day at 5 in the morning, ideates in quietude for an hour, gets a news updates by 7, leaves home at 8 for a police station in the jurisdiction to interact with his team, learning from them, advising them. By 10 you are done and ready to employ the technology and tools at your disposal to deal with crime," she told police officers while addressing the valedictory session of the Police Expo 2018 and Young SPs Conference 2018, organised by the Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D) and FICCI here today.
The secret of good policing was to set oneself free and not be enslaved. "Do not forget the purpose of your service to the country, family and everything else comes later. Uphold and implement the law and deal with crime, don't wait for orders to address crime," she said, adding that if only the young SPs began their day correctly and got to the field by 9 AM, India would be a different country.
Dr. Bedi said that police officers needed to become networked, use the social media correctly, enjoy work and remain updated with judgements and laws of the land.
She advised BPR&D to quickly get on to an online training platform and collaborate with training academies for the benefit of the police force. "BPR&D could well do an IT certification training programme in partnership with FICCI"as this would benefit the users to use technology optimally, she said.
On the occasion, an MoU was signed between BPR&D and India Police Foundation on a standardisation and accreditation scheme for raising quality standards of police governance and service delivery.
BPR&D Director General, Dr. A P Maheshwari, underlined the need for state-level R&D units for undertaking data analytics and synergise the efforts of the scholars and policemen. He also suggested vertical integration of experts to undertake R&D. Science graduates and post-graduates could be employed for analysing data on crimes, he added.
FICCI Secretary General, Mr. Dilip Chenoy, said FICCI would be happy to further strengthen the collaboration with the police in beefing up its capabilities for the safety and security of the people.
BPR&D Additional DG, Mr. V H Deshmukh and FICCI Homeland Committee Chair, Mr. Rahul Chaudhry, also shared their perspectives on the subject.
