The establishment of the police force, however, has changed the state of affairs in society.

The
police force has enabled the law courts, which have existed since ancient times, in certain
countries even before the introduction of the police force, to function more efficiently. Criminals
are apprehended and punished, with the help of the police force, to deter others from
committing acts injurious to innocent citizens. Most people therefore have learned to control
their criminal tendencies. The alertness of the police force in the detection of crimes has not only
discouraged most people from breaking the laws of society but also compelled them to exercise
restrain and self-discipline. Consequently, society as a whole is more peaceful than what it was
before the establishment of the police force.

As the aim of the police force is to promote the welfare of society, it is constantly engaged in
creating the conditions in which people can live and pursue their own affairs without interference
from thoughtless individuals. The rights of every member in society are protected by the courts
through the agency of the police force, which is therefore a source of inspiration and hope to all
law-abiding citizens. Any interference with the rights of one citizen by another is frowned upon
by the police force.

In their efforts to promote the welfare of society the police force extends its activities even to
the remotest regions of the country. If a man is lost in a dense forest or at sea by his own fault
or otherwise, members of the force do their utmost to find and bring him back to his family,
however unpleasant the effort may prove. Seldom do they give up their search if they are certain
that the man still survives. Dedicated to the service of society, they are prepared to work under
any conditions to protect a person, sometimes even at the risk of losing their own lives.
