UP Police & Yogi

My wish list for UP Police from new government...
⦁ Very first step is enough police force, there are few steps for this
⦁ Regular recruitment of 3000-4000 constables every year, this makes sure they are trained properly & training capacity is sufficient for training
⦁ This also minimises chances of malfesance in recruitment which often happens in case of mass recruitment. Look at this for example
Around 22,500 police constables were recruited during 2004-2006 in the biggest ever recruitment drive for state forces during the previous Mulayam Singh Yadav regime. After the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) government was voted to power in 2007, chief minister Mayawati ordered an inquiry into the recruitments following allegations of large scale irregularities in short listing of selected candidates. As a result, recruitment of more than 18,000 jawans of UPP and the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) and police radio department were cancelled.
The single-member inquiry committee of the then additional director general of police (ADG) SK Mishra appointed by the state government had found shocking instances of candidates being awarded grace marks for no rhyme and reason merely to help them qualify the written exam and rampant use of fake mark-sheets and certificates by candidates to meet the minimum requirement for recruitment. Not only this, it was found that the interview boards had cleared hundreds of candidates within hours time to the extent that each candidate spent only a few seconds to clear the interview - something which was practically impossible.
All the officers accused in this case have been since rehabilitated e.g. Sunil Gupta who is now IG. It is must that all such faulty recrutiments are cancelled. CBI inquiry in this even at this stage is must to root out corruption from public life and police.
It should be completely transparent as to how many constables are retirirng every year and how many are needed, at least for next 10 years this can be made online so that discretion of future governments is removed.
So called good officers from field should be made to opt for training centres for a posting of 2 yrs by paying 30% extra, right now training centres are place of dejected, discarded officers this should be reversed.
⦁ Castes & social groups which have very few representation in police should be encouraged to apply & interview boards sensitised to prefer them. Same thing for districts which have very less representation in police. It is very important to have a representative lower constabulary than one dominated by one caste group or district.
 From every serving personnel in police his caste, block of domicile should be asked & a matrix be made. Then prioity blocks identified which see most crime and/or are most poor. It should be a policy decision to award extra marks to candidates from these areas.
Once Police force is representative and is not dominated by yadavs or jats only , intelligence gathering of police will improve dramatically & crimes will reduce. A quota of 10% for muslims can also be thought of inside OBC quota, which will dent the Yadav dominance.
⦁ Training of constabulary in sof skills, cyber crime, forensic science is necessary via phase 2 , phase 3 training
⦁ For constabulary, random allocation of duties at district level should be introduced.
⦁ Tendency to provide gunner to people closed to ruling party should be curbed. even in small districts 60-80 constables are doing this duty while largest police station of district may not have that much force
⦁Young homeguards should be given a chance to appear in constable test with some relaxations, this will encourage them to do better.

UP is a large cadre with lots of officers. Officers from other states should be brought on deputation only in exceptional cases & not routine.
⦁ There is a premium posed on so called field postings. To obviate this for all officers, IPS, PCS & inspector rank a 10 yr plan should be made where numbers to spent in field postings, in HQ postings, In non field postings & in PAC are divided based on number of posts of each in total cadre. e.g. if out of 500 posts for IPS in UP, 70 are from PAC, 100 from HQ, 130 non field (intelligence, telecom, ATS etc) & 200 so called field , an officer can spend only (200/500) i.e. 40% of career in so called field posts (with relaxation of 10%).
⦁ This will reduce jockeying for posts & also make available good and motivated officers for hitherto neglected area of policing.
⦁ Promotion of state services officers is slow it should be speeded up but strictly only for those who maintain good reputation and are honest, not automatice promotion for everyone.
⦁ Even if central govt does not do, UP govt can on its own introduce post specific extra pay, where officers posted on high stress posts are paid extra so that any motive for corruption is nipped in bud.
⦁ Check DysPs, Inspectors and sub inspectors who have spent more than stipulated time in a district or range should be transferred
⦁ At least half of thanas should be headed by inspector level officers. THis is a rule which has been violated by impunity since many years. This is not good for morale of police & had rank and command issue when one of SIs becomes boss of his peers.
⦁ Border scheme should be rethought. It creates discontent among constables as they dont get leaves easily. New recruits can be posted in border districts & after 10 yrs if they want can be posted in home district as well but not in home circle. This will take care of stree prevalent among constabulary. But sub inspector & above, specially DySPs should be kept away from home as far as possible.
⦁ An index to measure effectiveness of district SPs need to be devised, which should not be traditional measure which promotes burking & non reporting rather efforst at preventing crime should also be rewarded. Victimisation survey of populace should be done regularly. Similar transparent objective index for SHOs can be devised. For this a committee of retired IPS, SPS & inspector level officers can be formed to be headed by some IPS from outside state.
⦁ A standard operating procedure in case of cross religion & cross community elopment cases should be followed & strictly implemented. Past cases of such violence should be opened one at a time at each police station and cuplrits identified and prosecuted.
⦁ Meat factories should be permitted in transparent way only & only on need based. Old ones should be regulated as per norms of pollution, no of animals killed, health , sanitation, labour safety. Many a times lower functionaries let such places have a free run by taking bribes , this should be severely curtailed
⦁ Vigilance, CBCID & Lokayukta should be strengthened. Many old cases are effectively lying in doldrums since years, they shoud be pursued vigorously. Distarict branches of vigilance should be strenghtened to stem local level corruption in PWD, education & health department. 
⦁ Forencsic labs should be strengthend. Lead time is currently 3-4 months, all efforts should be made to reduce it. Each circle should have a forensic van. Instead of mindlessly recruting more constables this will help police and crime detection more. Similarly trained sniffer dogs should be provided at every police station with handler.
⦁ For women safety, 1090 should be strengthended. Many districts had shakti mobile but not many SPs take interest in that, it should be revived. Female constables from districts should be sent on deputation to 1090. SPs should be given target that at 12 in night female students should feel free to roam out in city, then only real women safety has been achieved.
⦁ CCTV cameras after geo spatial mapping of crime should be deployed. Instead of each district police doing it independently, statewide some 1 lakh camera a year should be installed & made sure that they dont stop working after few months. Many district polie are buying gps & cammers independently and they are not functioning due to maintenance budget. For a year period remove all taxes on cctv cameras to encourge business to buy them, this will control theft to a large extent.
⦁ Mining policy especially for sand and minor minerals should be relooked into & reationalised by giving more lease proportional to demand - as its major source of corruption. Mining department is den of corruption. separate recrutiment for mmining, RTO & excise should be stopped and people from other govertnment departments like education, police, revenues, power who have clean record should be sent there on deputation.
⦁ Number of judges should be increased & testimony by video conferencing should be encouraged to fasten the speed with which cases are solved. THis is specially true for lower courts where state government has control. Further all lawyers who have cases against them should be reported to bar council to cancel license
⦁ Put end to armed dacoity in kithore of delhi highway or bulandshahar stretch close to delhi
⦁ Put end to e waste mafia in moradabad
⦁ Put end to vehic scrap industry in meerut and sambhal. It breeds mafia.
⦁ Strict action against all past cases of attacks on police
⦁ strict control of "nakal" mafia in board exams
⦁ Make 100 number strong, and respond to public grievances & SPs should be judged on effectiveness of 100 number rather than illusiory crime figures.
⦁ A separate sc/st thana in each district on the lines of mmahila thana to deal with cases of atrocities against SC
⦁ Since its a 3/4 majority, legislations can be made to increase punishment for currency counterfeiting
⦁ Strictly control and regulate construction of new religious places
⦁ Grant more lease of sand mining to kill the mafia and earn revenue
⦁ Taxation on liquor same as neighboutin states to prevent smuggling and liquor mafia
⦁ In towns of tourist & religious significance, like agra, mathura, benara,s lucknow, allahabad etc, tourism police should be formes. Tourist police station of Agra can serve as a model.
⦁ Control and regulate e rickshaw for traffic woes. In many towns they have become a menace. Political consideration or corruption should not allow unchecked proliferation of same.
⦁ Make govt hospitals, chc and phc responsive especially SOP in case of medico legal cases. Doctors who help people in getting false cases should be prosecuted severely.
⦁ Improve capacity of Jails, few can be outsources as well. Involve NGOs in a big way to improve them
⦁ Child homes are breeding ground of crime instead of reformation , need to be revamped thoroughly. If required involve private parties in manageing them or religious ngos
⦁ In SP offices some 10-15 cells are there and many people are stffed there e.g. DCRB has 5-8 people everywhere, there is osmmething called summon cell, SC/ST cell, women cell etc , all this should be rationalised and number fixed at lucknow for three categories of districts large, medium, small with power to IG to increase by 1 in case od requirement.
⦁ Many local people have been given police protection wich they dont need and also whcih means huge force is wasted in such fruitless efforts
⦁ Giving polie for codutcting exams should be stopped, private schools asked to hire their own security guards for same
⦁ Similarly organisers of various social , religious congregations should be asked to pay for police deploymment
