JAIPUR: Chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday directed the brass of the state police to organise behavioural training for cops and devise public feedback mechanism.
Speaking here during a law and order review meeting attended by senior officials from the state police and home departments, the chief minister insisted on regular behavioural training to be given to cops as most of the complaints from people pertain to police’s behaviour.
He also praised Rajasthan police’s role during the first and second wave of the Covid and the groundwork done by the force during the lockdown months.
Gehlot also took into consideration the incidents of alleged deaths in police custody.
He directed officials to ramp up CCTV installations at police stations to prevent incidents of deaths and beatings in the custody.
Gehlot said proper feedback should be taken into account before giving field posting to police personnel, adding that a system should be devised which could get public feedback about the functioning of cops.
He told senior officials that cops who have demonstrated good work should be lauded and motivated, while at the same time, those involved in murky dealings and displaying negligent behaviour must be punished.
Gehlot said Rajasthan police can become a leading police force in the country by bringing in a professional approach to its ways of investigation.
