Police Establishments/Police Offices-Lecture at NPA in 2006

21.1. Principles of the Criminal Law and Police Organization.-The Criminal law of India and the Police organization, which is based upon it, are both founded on the principle that public order depends essentially upon the responsibility of every member of the community within the law to prevent offences and to arrest offenders. The magisterial and police organization is set up to enforce, control and assist this general responsibility. This fundamental principle must be thoroughly understood and borne constantly in mind by police officers of all ranks, but more especially by gazetted officers and upper subordinates. Instructions as to the general relations between police officers and Magistrates are contained in Chapter I of these Rules and some further detailed instructions are placed in this chapter. The ideal to be aimed at in respect of relations with the public is that every police officer, of whatever rank, should be regarded by every law-abiding person as a wise and impartial friend and a protector against injury to his person and property. In proportion as this ideal is approached, the police will receive the information and assistance which they need, in order to combat crime successfully. When confidence and co-operation are lacking, private persons and village officials resort to connivance at crime and to seeking redress for their own losses through treaty with criminals; the police are isolated in their efforts to prevent and detect offences, and can hope for but a small measure of success. The proper relations between the police and the public in a district depend primarily upon the personal attitude of the Superintendent, and the example set by him and enforced upon his subordinates. The most important duties of a Superintendent are to know the people of his district and to know what his subordinates are doing. Such knowledge can only be gained by the fullest personal accessibility, activity in touring, thorough and intelligent supervision and a sympathetic interest in the life of the district and the facts and difficulties of the work of his own men. He must inspire confidence in his subordinates , as well as in the public. While alert to check tyranny, dishonesty and other abuses by his subordinates, he must be as accessible to them as to non-officials, and ready at all times to help them in their difficulties and support them against the evil influences, which they have to face. This should be the attitude of all supervising officers. They should ensure direct access to themselves unimpeded by their subordinates, and must be ready to give a patient hearing to all complaints and grievances, but must avoid creating any impression of spying which would destroy the confidence and undermine the authority of their officers. Rule 21.2 21.2. Ilaqa Magistrate Relations with.-The relations between the Ilaqa Magistrate and the police officers with whom he has to deal should be both cordial and intimate, and every opportunity shall be taken to keep him informed of the state of crime in his ilaqa.

In this contemporary world, the functioning of the police is a complex and sensitive duty of the society and the activities of it are no longer simple. They have become so much complex and specialized due to urbanization and technology. Beside, the nature of administrative activities is also constantly changing. Hence there arise the necessity of both in-service and post entry training. Training is helpful to increase the efficiency and broadening the vision of every police officer and the facilities for their training are so much important as the training itself. The present research paper has tried to discuss the satisfaction of police officers(OR's & NGO's 2) towards training facilities which are providing to the trainees by the Punjab Police Academy, Phillaur. This study has been based on both primary as well as secondary data. The primary data has been collected through a well framed interview schedule for the trainees. And the secondary data has been collected from books, magazines, journals, newspapers and department of the police, Punjab. Most of the respondents were satisfied with the training facilities of the PPA 3 .

This research seeks to interrogate the overall organizational structure of police in Pakistan with the help of official record of the government of Pakistan. It provides the historical insight of Police reforms under British India. It examines the declassified official record of the Government of Pakistan. Several efforts have been made to reform and develop the police system but to no use. The article probes that British policies were far better than the reforms initiated by Pakistani ruling elite as particularly the institution of police which deteriorated rapidly owing to immense political influence. An effort has also been made to highlight the different phases of Pakistan's law and order history from 1947-2002.

This brief description highlights need for re-organization of Lahore Police on professional thematic areas for enhanced efficiency after development of Punjab Police Command, Control and Communication Centre, Lahore. This model is valid for other major urban centres of Pakistan like Faisalabad, Multan, Karachi, Quetta and Peshawar. It suggests that specialised units like Traffic, Investigation and Security are separated from Police operations completely with their specific mandate. It highlights the need of dedicated first responders under Safe City concept for integrated security.
