New Delhi : Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry Dr Kiran Bedi on July 27, 2018, asked young police officers to always remain true to the spirit of serving the police force since it concerns the safety of life, liberty and well-being of every citizen. She advised them to always act according to the letter and spirit of law without waiting for orders from their superiors.
She said that the Superintendents of Police shoulder a great responsibility as they are the leaders on the ground while senior officers play supervisory role. She exhorted them to start their day early in the morning and follow a strict daily regimen of going to the field and meeting with the people, according to a PIB release.
Dr Bedi, a distinguished former Indian Police Service officer, was delivering the Valedictory address of the 2nd Conference of Young Superintendents of Police organised by the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) in collaboration with Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
Dr Bedi was all praise for the BPR&D for bringing together young police officers and technologically advanced companies dealing in security equipment besides the experts in this field. She recalled her days with BPR&D as its chief and expressed satisfaction over its growth in the following years.
About the two-day conference of young SPs, she said that this should be made mandatory for every SP instead of limiting it to only 100 of them. She further suggested that BPR&D should start one-time training for the benefit of the entire police force on relevant subjects by use of appropriate technology.
