| Competent cops a demoralised lot in J&K Police, allege insiders | | | Bharat Bhushan
JAMMU, Aug 1: Some senior J&K police officers, both retired and serving, have alleged that the competent personnel, who had a proven track record, are a demoralised lot in the force.
Those driven by the desire to work are ignored and made to suffer, while others who have blemished track records are preferred to them when it comes to field postings," a senior police officer said.
Because of this approach of those at the helm of affairs, demoralisation had started creeping into the police ranks, he asserted.
It was not at all a good sign for the force which had a bigger task of fighting militants and restoring complete peace to the State, the officer added.
He felt that merit needed to be recognised and promoted in J&K police to make it a formidable force.
The officer said it was the police administration which was to be held responsible for all this and also for producing "below-standard" and "incompetent" officers.
Retired Police Personnel Welfare Association (PPWA) had also some time back termed J&K Police as a "demoralised" force, alleging that the department had failed to produce men of competence and integrity.
A retired Sub-Inspector (SI) and PPWA member, who did not want to be quoted, said, "Normal policing meant for ensuring public law and order, combat crime and establishing highest standards of fair and unbiased investigations seems to be an unachieved goal."
He said police were suffering because of poor and "unprofessional" ways of investigation by IOs. There were, however, some IOs who had proved to be good professionals while conducting probes into certain cases, he added.
"If merit is ignored, a time may come when police can even face the challenge of maintaining law and order," the retired SI said.
Another PPWA member, who is also a retired SI, alleged that those at the helm of affairs were not encouraging the upright and competent officers who could perform the role of protectors of the lives of people.
He felt that police were a "demoralised" force also because not much attention was being given for their welfare. |
