Actually the problems you describe are not so unique. They are common to law enforcement personnel all around the world. What our law enforcement agencies NEED … no matter what country they are … is a supportive community. People who respect them and will turn to them if they have to face off with a criminal element in the community. Of course, if they don’t build that trust relationship and truly serve and protect the people, then their job is REALLY HARD!! I mean … it’s one thing when people have to defend themselves against criminals. But when they have to defend themselves against criminals and corrupt police … you leave them no choice but to do what they have to do just to survive!

Appreciate your point of view. As I too mentioned in the article these problems are faced by law enforcement agencies in different parts of the world. But here in India the density of population is very high and the number of police there to take care at a normal time is generally less. It is a thankless job that they perform and the sad part is that for a few rotten apples which are their in the system the whole police force gets a bad name. I find this unfortunate. Their work timings, the hours they have to spend standing in the hot sun, having a tight schedule with not time for personal work like lunch and such things take a toll on their health. They are also having community trust building relationships and sensitization programs on various issues. The government is extending reforms which work in the benefit of this force. This process needs to be made more faster.
Obviously no one is hundred percent perfect but I appreciate the good people in the force who are the ones who keep up the image and make ordinary folk approach them in case of problems of any kind. In many cases they have even conducted the marriages of children who are elders and wanted to marry against their parents wishes and counselled all the members of the family to accept the marriage. The play role a good role of settling problems through dialogue too. Thanks for the input.

I totally respect law enforcement people as I also respect those who serve in our military. Don’t know about the news reports in India, but in the United States, the relationship between the police and the citizens in the African-American community has spawned a “Black Lives Matter” movement. It’s a shame really. Because you know that if need be, you will call the police before you call your neighbor if you sense danger. Yet one bad cop or one inexperienced cop who makes a mistake and everybody is in an uproar. I say: “There are way more good police than there are bad police and they have a hard job. Support them!!” That’s what I say!
