  A group of 20 IPS officers’ trainees of 64 RR, 2011 batch led by Mr. G.Srinivasa Rao, called on Punjab Governor, Mr. Shivraj V. Patil, after completing their training from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, Hyderabad.

        While interacting with the young IPS officer, Mr. Patil asked their views regarding reforms in the police. After getting different replies from the officers, Mr. Patil said to bring reforms in the police, we have to increase the number of Police Stations and number of Policemen in the country. He said at present there are only 1400 police stations in the country and one police station covers 100 villages. He said provision of strong rooms and (koth) a room for keeping weapons is also required in the Police Stations.

        Mr. Patil said the job of Police force is more difficult then the Defence Forces. He said the responsibility of Police force increased manifold these days. A strong and credible police force is a necessity to safeguard public interest and for the common good of the people. It is, therefore, imperative that we improve policing standards by upgrading the professional skills of the police force, with a focus on enforcement of rule of law and winning the trust and confidence of the people.

        Ms Shivani Tewari, Lady IPS officer thanked the Punjab governor for giving valuable tips on Police Reforms, which they have not learnt even in the Academy during the Training.
