Police operations must be regularly reviewed and improved to enhance its effectiveness, said Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) Jitender during a meeting organised by the Indian Police Foundation on Monday (February 3).

The event, titled ‘Better Policing Through Police Reforms’, was hosted by the Indian Police Foundation, an organisation dedicated to research on police reforms, led by Vice President Ish Kumar, a retired officer. The foundation comprises both serving and retired officers and focuses its research on six key areas, including internal police reforms, technology-driven policing, prison reforms, forensic science research, crimes against women and police health and well-being.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Jitender underlined the need for continuous evaluation of police operations to enhance effectiveness. He also stressed the importance of a victim-centric approach, skilled investigations, community policing and professional police conduct.
He further instructed officers to ensure prompt registration of complaints, prioritise women’s safety and uphold their responsibility to enhance the department’s reputation.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ish Kumar stated that the internal police reform project is currently being implemented in Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. He said that public feedback from various police station jurisdictions would be collected to design appropriate training programmes.
