Many officers have tried in vain to change image of POLICE. They stick to their guns. Their nexus with criminals & politicians is well known and accepted fact. Instead of protecting, I feel we need to be protected from them.
They are there just to harass common & law fearing individuals. For rich & famous the story is vice-versa.
They behave as if during pre-independence era the Britishers treated Indian public.
Its known to everyone how they mess-up the investigation and their trade mark of "late comers"... reaching the crime spot after exorbitant delay. The list is endless.
Fine, this is one side of the coin, now have a look at the other side of the coin. You would be surprised that they are still governed by some rules which were formulated by British Raj. They still get Rs.150/- ($ 3.20) for disposing off the unclaimed bodies and they are supposed to collect the body from mortuary, transport it to the burial and do the last rites according to the religion of the dead. Have you wondered what is the salary of a constable, its just Rs 6500/ month. Under what extreme and inhuman conditions they are required to work. They don't have eight hours of shift rather they are on work 24X7. To add to their woes is indecent, corrupt, arrogant behavior of their superiors. There are no HRD department to plan their welfare, and even if it exists its only on the paper. If they take no action against the criminals, public, media, politicians all blame them, but if they take action then the same public, media and politicians and even HUMAN RIGHTS don't spare a word in criticizing them. The unscrupulous politicians use the police force to their whims and fancy and also finds them the safest scapegoats. Have a look at their level of education, training, living conditions, the money and other pleasures they have to ensure for their superiors and politicians. They have to protect the lives of criminals once they become politicians. Place yourself in these working conditions and then think.
Now under the above circumstances the big question is what should be done do reform them ?
You may contribute your ideas on managing this problem.

My opinion is that police is not the problem, its the politicians who are responsible for every problem in India.
I am also of the opinion that when criminals can become Ministers inspite of even supreme court convicting them, what you can expect from them.
Its like making criminals control the INDIAN POLICE.
When "Thanas" are auctioned, how can the same Superintendent of Police even think of the police force will listen to their orders.
For a prime posting one has to pay a huge amount...from where the money will come.
Even "Burra Saheb" has to pay for his posting so he is authorised to demand from us.
One knows "who made dacoit phoolan devi?" answer is our police and police system.
We have a good law, but law implementers( police) who are corrupt and hurdle to smooth law implementation.
Most of illegal works, cabarets, dance bars, illegal joints, whorehouse run by police patronize and the first customer is police.
If you stand and watch on the road, you can find a normal constable is making 1000rs a day minimum from the fruit, vegetable vendors, and hawkers.
In places like chennai,registering a f.i.r. is next to impossible without paying 1000 to 2000 rs for a normal person, even if you are successful in making f.i.r. by some recommendations or influence you will be put into panchayat and finally either of party will land up paying big amount, and one who pays more wins the fight.
in chennai, suppose your vehicle is stolen, you pay 1000 rs for f.i.r and after that you pay another 6000/- to recover the vehicle which may belong to any body else, and you can choose among the pile of other stolen vehicles.(you may not choose your own vehicle).
and you get somebody's vehicle with full police authority and court consent which is fabricated by police.
Even now police are involved with real estate people and they can work worst than gundas if they are paid sufficiently by land lords to throw your households outside.(there are live examples)
1) Food in most of hotels and restaurants are free for police
2) Fruits, vegetables, any goods from hawkers are free for police as they can easily fleece from them.
3) Red light areas- free for police
4) Custodial rapes-- obsession with many police
5) Misuse of power -- anytime obsession
6) How to make money out of two parties is main business
7) Dance bars, cabarets, illegal clubs are all running
with 10,000 rs to 1,00,000/- monthly bribe plus free entertainment
8) Free bottles, call-girls, gifts, bribe regular feature of our police system.
I suggest to replace all the police force with a new police system and conduct new recruiting process. It will be easy to clean the corrupted police from the system.
I was being harrassed by a guy for the last few months and
when I have approached the Police for help,first the SI(A Mullah) was
so reluctant to take the complaint. when I have told him
that the guy calls on my office no. as well as personal no,
his solution was 'don't respond to any other call except ur parents and relatives,
baat khatam,why do u want to lodge a complaint?'.
Is that the solution a police has to give when a person approaches him
with a harassment case?after requesting him for an hour or so
that I don't have any security and I see a danger from the person,
and when I said he doesn't need to take any action but
simply lodge a complaint for my safety,he agreed to lodge the complaint.
after that also while his subordinate was writing the complaint
the SI said "pehle lafda karte hain phir police ke paas aate hai"
(first the do lafda and then they approach police).
Is this the way the people who protect us speak? If a police only doesn't respect a woman,
who will respect a woman in this society.
