Delhi Police Commissioner S B K Singh Friday urged the force to strive for self-reliance, the use of technology and healthy competition. During the Independence Day celebrations at the Delhi Police headquarters, the police chief, while addressing the force, reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision on these three points, which he had outlined at the Red Fort.
During his address, Singh directed Delhi Police units to work on ‘atmanirbharta’ (self-reliance) and come up with a proposal within 15 days. The aim is to make the Delhi Police self-reliant on as many fronts to stop dependence on other units for things like commandos, bomb disposal squads and wireless sets, he said.
“Although the Delhi Police have always been making the best use of technology and we are way ahead on this front, there is still a need to go further,” he said.
“Whether it is a matter of surveillance systems, preventing cybercrime, anti-drone Technology, the ability to fight terrorists, the use of technology is required in every field,” he said.
Singh directed Delhi Police units dealing in technology-related matters to form committees and groups, conduct necessary studies, and come up with proposals within a month to enhance the use of technology in Delhi Police.
Singh stressed that the force needs to build a sense of healthy competition and shun the feeling of jealousy. “We need to embrace this principle at an individual and as well as at the organisational level.” He advised the units and districts of the Delhi Police to work on this principle to develop a sense of healthy competition among themselves.
While expressing his concern, the police commissioner said that despite working so hard, even beyond working hours, the force has not been able to win the trust of the public as it should have.
He further suggested that every police personnel needs to come out of a feudalistic mindset and shift attitude from ‘Shasak Bhav’ to ‘Sewa Bhav’ to make the public feel more comfortable approaching the police in case of need.
The force’s head also took the opportunity to congratulate the 18 officers and personnel of the Delhi Police who have been awarded police medals for ‘distinguished service’ and ‘meritorious service’ on the occasion of Independence Day, acknowledging their hard work and dedication.
