 History of Policing in India
• After the revolt of 1857, the British created a police
force with the prime aim of upholding their
imperial interests.
• They used the police to mainly suppress and
oppress freedom fighters and revolutionaries during
the freedom struggle.
• Over the years following Independence, the police force
was seen as being elitist and power-friendly, instead
of being seen as a people-friendly force.
• Misuse of Policing:
• During the emergency, it was used with impunity to
suppress human rights and imprison thousands of
people, including all the political opponents of the
ruling dispensation.
• National Police Commission:
• Subsequently, a National Police Commission was
set up in 1977, which submitted reports with
detailed multi-dimensional proposals for police
reforms.
• Not much headway has been made in bringing
reforms in police forces at the individual and
institutional level.
• Efforts taken by the Government of India
• A number of initiatives taken by the Government of India toward better policing,
including
• A project to decriminalise minor offences and violations and
• The move for amending the Identification of the Prisoners Act, 1920, a
legislation that was passed more than a 100 years ago.
• The Prime Minister’s call for making the police a SMART force: standing for a
force which is:
• Strict and Sensitive,
• Modern and Mobile,
• Alert and Accountable,
• Reliable and Responsive,
• Tech-savvy and Trained.
• The government is giving high priority to the greater use of technology in the
day-to-day working of police.
 Issues in Police Forces
• Colonial Law:
• Even at present, the police system in India is based on colonial law.
• Sometimes the British used the police as their instrument to suppress
the voice of people and for their personal functions and at present our
respected government is doing the same.

• Huge vacancies:
• While the sanctioned police strength was 181 police per lakh persons
in 2016, the actual strength was 137 police.
• This is way too low when compared with the United Nations’
recommended standard of 222 police per lakh persons.
• Further, a high percentage of vacancies within the police forces
exacerbates an existing problem of overburdened police personnel.
• Custodial Death:
• There are many cases on custodial death means Death by torture/pressure in
police/judicial custody.
• During 1996-1997 in D.K.Basu judgment, the Supreme Court (SC) issued a guideline
against custodial death in India.

• Police Infrastructure (weapons, vehicle etc):

• Modern policing requires strong communication support, state-of-the-art or modern
weapons, and a high degree of mobility.
• Even the fund’s allotted face Underutilisation.

• Law on Torture:
• India has only signed the “United Nation Convention on torture” but yet to pass by
the Parliament.
• India does not have a specific law for torture.
• Political Interference:
• Police officers are not able to do their work due to the interference of
political leaders.
• There is no minimum tenure security for officers at the higher post and
not even place posting security.

• Promotions and working conditions:

• Qualifications and training of police personnel are not up to the mark,
especially for lower levels of officials.
• The lower ranks of police personnel are often verbally abused by their
superiors or they work in inhuman conditions.
• This non-harmonious work environment ultimately affects their
relationship with the public.
