Chandigarh, Oct 24 (NationPress) The Director General of Police (DGP) for Haryana, O.P. Singh, stated on Friday that the operational approach of the police would undergo a significant transformation. He emphasized that indiscipline or misconduct would not be accepted, warning that anyone who retaliates or attacks police officers would face an immediate and appropriate response.

“The police force must evolve to be more proactive, solution-focused, coordinated, and centered around the community,” the DGP articulated during a meeting with all Commissioners of Police (CPs), Superintendents of Police (SPs), and Station House Officers (SHOs) in Panchkula, located nearby.

He instructed the Haryana Police Housing Corporation (HPHC) to ensure upgrades at all police stations and posts within two weeks.

“Kitchens, washrooms, electrical systems, and safety measures should be repaired and enhanced,” he directed, stressing that each police station must project an image of cleanliness, safety, and organization.

“My primary objective is to keep the Haryana Police in top condition for service,” an official statement quoting DGP Singh remarked.

“Errors during duty are common, but indiscipline or misconduct will not be tolerated under any conditions.” He reiterated that the Haryana Police is on duty 24/7, all year round, dedicated to public service. “I cannot allow any of my police personnel to be in jeopardy — we are here to protect and serve the community, not to perish.”

“Should a criminal breach the law, they will be incarcerated through legal channels, but if someone retaliates or attacks police, they will encounter an immediate and fitting response. The Haryana Police serves as a robust barrier between citizens and criminals.”

The DGP mandated that the families of fallen police officers must receive prompt assistance as per established regulations.

“There should be no delays, and a status report on their welfare should be submitted every 15 days. No tasks related to the families of martyrs should be left unfinished.”

He instructed district officers to make regular field visits, engage with police personnel, and enhance their morale. He stressed the importance of courteous interaction with the public.

Police officials should utilize simple, respectful phrases such as “Please, Sorry, Thank You” — this will help improve the police's image and bolster public confidence.

The DGP mentioned that police must also maintain an active presence on social media. Officers should keep track of those disseminating rumors or misinformation about the police from the outset. All police stations must collaborate and create joint strategies to combat crime in their respective areas.

Director of the Haryana Police Academy, Arshinder Chawla, has been tasked with providing practical training to new sub-inspectors so they can learn real-world policing instead of adopting a 'filmy' mindset. The DGP instructed that officers in sensitive regions must not take leave without prior notice.

“SHOs must inform the IG before taking leave, and SPs must notify the ADG (Law and Order).” DGP Singh concluded by stating that the aim of Haryana Police is clear — each officer must remain safe, every citizen should live without fear, and every police station must stand as a beacon of public trust.
