The first ever National Conference of Superintendents of Police will be held here tomorrow. About 400 district Superintendents of Police from all over the country are expected to participate in it. The Conference will be addressed by the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh and the Home Minister, Shri Shivraj Patil. The Conference is the culmination of five regional workshops held between June and August this year. In these workshops, views and suggestions of Superintendents of Police on various issues having a bearing on the quality of police service were discussed. The issues deliberated at these workshops included improvement in delivery of police service to the people, national security challenges before the police, new challenges to policing in the context of technological advancements and economic development, rural policing and village police set up, problems of urban and metropolitan policing, criminal justice reforms, community participation in policing and recruitment, training and human resource development in the police.
The Prime Minister had desired to have an interaction with district level functionaries to discuss ways and means to improve the quality of governance at the grass roots level. He has already had an interaction in this connection with district magistrates/deputy commissioners/collectors on the 19th of May this year.
