WHY POLICE PERSONNEL BEHAVE LIKE THIS ?
Hundreds of studies have been made , reports and recommendations have been submitted about inculcating humanism amongst police personnel. Nothing worthwhile has happened at the ground level.
Most of the brutal acts have been carried out at the lower cadre of the police force by constables, head constables and sub inspectors. These people are not much educated and draw their lessons from their bosses , particularly IPS officers holding top positions.
The best way of reforming the police is to reform the top police officers , who should make themselves as role models for the entire police force. The fact is that there are not many such role models at higher level of police force.
The fact is that reports have appeared that number of IPS officers are misusing the powers by engaging police men for personal and domestic work, even after retirement . Many of them hobnob with politicians to get benefit for themselves, allowing political interference in police force, not visiting police stations for inspection frequently and ignoring the brutalities of lower cadre police men on several occasions.
Seeing the behavior of the top officers , police men in the lower cadre think that they can do anything and get away with it and think that they have the powers to use the brutal force against the people.
Like it happens in the top police administration, corruption and nepotism has become the order of the day amongst the lower cadre police personnel also.
When police men assault any one in police station , only constable or head constable are punished or sometimes merely transferred and top police officers are not touched , as if they have no responsibility.
