MP Police: Bhopal: खंडवा-खरगोन के पुलिस वालों के लिए घर के पास पोस्टिंग, ओंकाररेश्वर-महेश्वर में खुलेंगी टुरिस्ट पुलिस चौकियां..

पुलिस देगी मंदिरों एवं पर्यटन स्थल की जानकारी खंडवा , रविवार, 27 नवंबर 2011( 01:04 IST ) ओंकारेश्वर और महेश्वर में टूरिस्ट पुलिस चौकी खोलने की अनुमति केंद्र सरकार से प्राप्त हो गई है। विभिन्ना पाइंट पर तैनात पर्यटन विभाग की पुलिस न केवल पर्यटकों को सुरक्षा प्रदान करेगी वरन मंदिरों एवं पर्यटन स्थल की जानकारी भी उपलब्ध कराएगी।
यह बात पर्यटन विकास निगम के महाप्रबंधक आरएस तोमर ने पर्यटन कार्यशाला में दी। उन्होंने कहा विश्व के आधा प्रतिशत यानी करीब 50 लाख विदेशी पर्यटक प्रतिवर्ष मध्यप्रदेश आते हैं। अविकसित पर्यटन स्थलों का विकास कर पर्यटकों की संख्या 1 करोड़ तक पहुँचाने का लक्ष्य है। निजी क्षेत्र को भी पर्यटन स्थल से जोड़ने की कवायद की जा रही है। कार्यशाला में श्री तोमर ने कहा भारत के हृदय स्थल मध्यप्रदेश में पर्यटन की अपार संभावनाएँ हैं। इस प्रदेश का 33 प्रतिशत भू-भाग वनों से आच्छादित है। पर्यटन स्थलों पर गंदगी से निजात दिलाने और सड़कों व रेल काउंटर में विकास की जरूरत है।

Police Policy: Study policing for the future

As we move closer to the third anniversary of the 26/11 terror strike on Mumbai, attention will again be directed to the failure of the police to effectively counter the threat posed by terrorists. The current debate on policing in India is focused either on the big-ticket initiatives like the NATGRID and NCTC or on the "bread and butter issues" of recruitment and training of the police. Implementing the recommendations of various Police Commissions on police reforms -- lying unimplemented despite directions of the Supreme Court -- is an essential but not a sufficient condition towards meeting the future challenges. These recommendations, even if implemented, will have only a palliative effect in the absence of prospective planning.
Future tense: The Bureau of Police Research and Development needs to continually research the way in which the policing environment is changing in the country As it takes time to respond to any new situation -- to plan, recruit, procure equipment, train, develop infrastructure and at times, to amend legislation -- there is an urgent need to continually research the subject of future policing in this country. These prospective challenges for the police are related to change in environment, progress in technology, and organisational robustness. Policing environment is incessantly changing, with an intrusive media, higher educational standards, demographic changes, rapid urbanisation, rabid politicisation of socio-political movements, violent expression of public discontent, and myriad internal security threats emerging in recent years. Let us look at the challenges posed by the rapid urbanisation taking place in the country. By 2017, World Bank estimates that 500 million Indians, nearly 38 percent of India's population, will be living in cities. 74 percent of Tamil Nadu and 61 percent of Maharashtra will be living in cities by 2026. Unless the manning, equipping, training and doctrine of policing is attuned to these migratory trends, persisting with the old colonial rural policing model will further exacerbate social tensions caused by urban migration.
Technology-assisted crimes are believed to have cost the world economy more than $2 trillion last year, far in excess of the Indian GDP of $1.6 trillion. 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai were a telling example of terrorists using modern technology with deadly effect. A few such sporadic incidents apart, India is yet to be really hit by the tsunami of technology-assisted crimes. But this is liable to change in the future as technology occupies a greater space in our daily lives. However, the knowledge of technology in Indian Police remains abysmally poor with no institutionalised mechanisms to study technological developments and their impact on policing. Organisational challenges in the police emanate from unclear objectives, colonial militaristic command structure, antiquated weapons and equipment, semi-literate and ill trained people -- matriculate constables and head constables comprise 90 percent of the police force -- and outdated processes. The police manuals used by the state police forces today were drafted more than 100 years ago to deal with problems of that era. To be fair, the grossly inadequate number of policemen -- with only 133 policemen for a lakh of population compared to over 350 in developed countries -- has left police with little time and consideration for improvement. But that cannot be an excuse for ignoring the question of future challenges.
All modern police forces are applying the discipline of Futures Research to foster excellence in policing. FBI Academy first offered a course in "Futuristics in Law Enforcement" in 1982 and it now operates with the Society of Police Futurists International to bring academics and practitioners together to anticipate and prepare for the evolution of law enforcement into the future. Though the Bureau of Police Research and Development was established in India with a charter for future research, there has been no systematic study so far of the prospective challenges that shall confront the Indian police. A changing world presents challenges and opportunity. Thinking proactively about the future by applying the discipline of Futures Research is the only way for the Indian police to face those challenges and seize the opportunity.

Maharastra Police: Mumbai: Maharashtra ATS faces acute shortage of staff

Mumbai: Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad ATS is grappling with a severe manpower crunch with 283 posts of the total 732 lying vacant, two-and-a-half years after a panel set up to probe state police's response to the Mumbai attacks recommended streamlining the force. Of the sanctioned strength of 732 personnel for the ATS, which was formed in 2004 to counter terrorism and probe terror cases, 283 posts or 38.66 percent of the required manpower are lying vacant as on September 1, 2011, ATS sources told a news agency. Although Maharashtra has borne the brunt of terrorism with six deadly attacks since 1993, including the 26/11 strikes, the state's terror watchdog has only 10 sub inspectors, the cutting edge of the force as they are first to investigate a case as against the sanctioned strength of 90.
The cumulative strength of constables in ATS stands at 354 as against approved 495. The constables are eyes and ears on the ground to gather intelligence inputs, the sources said. The strength of middle-level officers is no better. There are only two superintendents of police for the four sanctioned posts, three assistant commissioners of police for the 10 required and 38 Inspectors instead of required strength of 50, the sources added. In the aftermath of the brutal terror attack on November 26, 2008, the Ram Pradhan Committee in its report submitted in April 2009 had noted that the structure of ATS and its operations was in "somewhat confused state". On November 26, 2008, Ajmal Amir Kasab and nine aides had landed here by sea and gone on a shooting spree at various places, including the Taj Mahal Hotel, Nariman House, Oberoi Hotel and CST railway station, killing 166 people. "Government should reiterate that normally all terrorist attack cases in Mumbai as well as in the rest of Maharashtra should be investigated by ATS alone unless otherwise decided, but the force seems ill-equipped to fulfil the duty recommended by the committee", the Committee report had said. ATS chief Rakesh Maria, an additional DGP in rank, was unavailable for comment. Maharashtra DGP K Subramaniam said that the ATS is not the only agency facing the shortfall. "We have been trying to fill up vacancies by expediting the recruitment process. As and when we get extra hands, we will ensure that top investigative wings such as ATS and other important wings get priority," the DGP said. The top cop also attributed the backlog to the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) scam. "The recruitment of PSIs (police sub-inspectors) is put on hold for sometime due to the scam," Subramaniam said. The exams for the recruitment of PSIs had to be cancelled after the answer papers of about 400 candidates were found to be replaced in 2002. Former IPS officer and lawyer YP Singh said intelligence gathering will be adversely affected if the vacancies are not filled, especially those of the lower-rung officials. "Terror attacks can be prevented by gathering intelligence inputs. Senior officials don't gather inputs, but it is the lower rung men. Moreover, ATS has been considered as a side posting by the lower rung cops in the state," Singh said. "PSIs and constables think that there is no public recognition and won't be having executive powers in the ATS. Many do not want to be transferred to this anti-terror unit," he added. Since its inception, ATS has been delegated to be the nodal agency for exchange of intelligence with Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), apart from tracking and neutralising terror modules.
