Assam Police will emerge as the best police force by 2026, and for that efforts are being undertaken by the Government of Assam, asserted Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Assam Police Will Be Best By 2026
While speaking with media persons, the Chief Minister highlighted the state government’s effort to shape the Assam Police as a people-friendly force.
“There are around 60,000-70,000 police personnel, and home guards in Assam and the presence of 2-3 per cent black sheep is natural. Our effort is to shape the Assam Police as a people-friendly force. It is not easy to make this, because the Assam Police became a force dealing with insurgency from the time of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA),” Sarma said.
The Chief Minister further said the insurgency problem has been solved by almost 90 per cent and the police will have to work to stay among the people so that it can build friendly relations and fight against new-age crimes.
“We have given importance to strengthening forensics, DNA fingerprint and the mentality of the Assam Police should be changed. For which, efforts of action, and removal of black sheep will be continued. By 2026 we will have the best police force,” he added.
