NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah, while interacting with IPS probationary officers here on Friday, appealed to them to rise above the “what is there for me, why should I care” attitude, so as to be able to handle any situation with ease.
“Our Constitution has placed its trust on you to serve the country for 30 to 35 years and you should try to bring the spirit of the Constitution to the ground level fearlessly because those who take a stand become societal agents of change. Officers should be good team leaders who are concerned about the interests of their colleagues…only then can they take everyone along and bring about a change in the image of the police,” Shah told the 122 probationary officers of the 2020 Indian Police Service batch.
Asking the young officers to not lose sight of basic policing, the home minister told them to make the police station the focus of their activities and the beat officer focus on their information. Shah said only when an IPS officer understands the language, history and social structure of the state of his cadre well, can he discharge his duties well. Asking the officers to pay attention to issues related to the internal security of the country “in totality”, he stressed the need for coordination at the national-level without infringing upon the rights of the states and respecting the spirit of the Constitution to prevent crimes such as smuggling of fake currency, arms smuggling, and narcotics.
Shah particularly asked the women officers to visit schools and interact regularly with the girl students so that the latter are also inspired to come forward and serve the country.
He told the officers that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Centre has been taking many steps to prevent and fight cybercrimes. Also, the government is emphasising the use of forensic science in collaboration with the state governments, with efforts being made to set up mobile forensic laboratories in every district of the country. Applauding the work of the police and central para-military forces during the Covid-19 pandemic, Shah said it had changed the attitude of the people towards the police. “We need to take this forward,” he said.
