Police transformed UP as good governance model by implementing the rule of law: CM Yogi

He noted that with the recruitment of 1.60 lakh personnel in the police force over the past seven years, there has been a significant increase in the resources available to the force now.

During their training, the DSPs received specialised instructions in law, human disorder, cybercrime, language and the three new laws. Adityanath cited an adage often associated with the police force: “The more you sweat in training, the less blood is shed in the field. Congratulations on joining the ranks of the world’s largest police force—this is a remarkable accomplishment!”

Adityanath said, “The law is offering us continuous and clear direction for future reforms. Shifting from traditional methods of investigation and punishment to modern forensic technology and evidence is not only more effective for delivering justice but also helps prevent the misuse of justice. To support this approach, the State Institute of Forensic Sciences has been established in the state capital, Lucknow.”

The CM lauded the appointment of 18 women as DSPs and said, “We had set a benchmark for having around 20 per cent women personnel in the police force. I am pleased that, following the selection process by the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission, 18 daughters of the state have become Deputy SPs. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to them and their families. I am confident that your training will be invaluable in establishing a police force that is efficient, justice-oriented, transparent, accountable, dedicated to public service and sensitive to the needs of the community.”

DGP Prashant Kumar and Additional Director General (Training) Rajiv Sabharwal, along with other officers, were present at the event on Monday.
