Chidambaram asks police officers to outsmart
adversaries

Hyderabad: Union Home
Minister P. Chidambaram Saturday said the police needed to equip
themselves on par with their adversaries in the changing times.
"Policing is changing dramatically, it is changing every day. Your
adversaries are numerous. New adversaries are emerging on the
horizon every day," he told trainee police officers at Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy here.
As many as 134 police officers of 2010 batch passed out. They
included 11 officers of Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives.
Addressing the officers after reviewing the colourful parade,
Chidambaram said like their adversaries they should also learn new
methods, acquire new weapons and master new technologies.
"The adversaries train every day and remain fit, so must you. They
forge new alliances among sections of society. You must forge new
alliances in all sections of society," the minister said.
Terming the police academy as a world-class institute, he said the
government provided over Rs.200 crore during the last two years
for improving facilities and infrastructure.
Four new courses on special laws, investigation, internal security
and first aid were introduced during the last two years.
Chidambaram said: "The word police invokes a variety of emotions
and responses among people. But imagine a state or country without
police. Can there be a town, a city or block without a police
station."
The home minister reminded the trainee officers that becoming an
Indian Police Service (IPS) officer is a rare honour.
"This honour is not given to all men and women. I have 123 Indian
Police Service (IPS) officers before me and you were selected from
over 100,000 aspirants. This is an honour you deserve and you
earned but you must protect and cherish this over the next 37-38
years of your career," he said.
Noting that four officers from Bhutan, four from Maldives and
three from Nepal were among the batch, Chidambaram said India was
always ready to work with these neighbours and friends.
He also congratulated 21 women police officers for passing out
from the academy.
"You have once again proved your mettle and showed women can
shoulder any responsibility alongside men in an accomplished way,"
he said.
