Dominate the battle on the ground
3. Connect every thana, every chowki (and in future every policeman) to a national database and network. Neither POTA nor a new anti-terrorism agency is crucial: connect existing intelligence and law-enforcement agencies through a common network.4. Empower police by implementing police reforms. Use the Supreme Court of India’s judgement in Prakash Singh & Others vs Union of India & Others to generate momentum. Strengthen police-public partnerships.
5. Move internal security to the PMO. The Prime Minister should chair a Cabinet Committee on Internal Security; a dedicated internal security advisor (rank of secretary or higher) should be appointed to act as the point man covering all aspects of internal security.
Also, as i have mentioned before, police reforms can be one of the best things that can be done by the government today. We can definitely take advantage of IT and telecom technological improvements to reform the police system. This will have immense benefits, economic, political and social.

i seriously feel India needs a dictatorship, atleast for the next 5 years if it has to improve at all.
@ dreamer: But, a full blown MIS package for state police departments is something that is being thought of and in some states , it has been started.
ReplyDeleteHere the tough part is, integrating the various state police departments.
The difficulty here is...terrorism is becoming a national problem while the institutional setup is state based
