ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) Dr B D Mishra on Monday called upon the probationer Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) to be innovative and think out-of-the box to create a good intelligence network.

Addressing virtually the probationer DSPs undergoing a 12-day training programme on modern policing at Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), Gujarat, he advised them never to stop the process of learning and self improvement and physically fit, mentally robust and a person of good moral character. He also exhorted them to be leaders of their police team and not just a police officer, a Raj Bhawan communiqué informed here.

The Governor cautioned that one of the attitudes, which a police officer has to guard against, is not to allow the power, position and rank to get to his or her head. He advised them to have compassion, probity, tenacity and to work hard and make helping the weak and the needy their second nature. BD Mishra said that a policeman has to be and demonstrate fairness, promptness and determination and win the trust of the people by transparency, honesty and accountability. He said that the most important link in policing is the beat constable. He asked the officers to make them efficient, competent and effective.

The Governor also spoke about the history of policing in India, the ever increasing challenges to policing, peculiarities of policing in context to Arunachal Pradesh and the way forward. He also shared his expertise and observations in counter insurgency operations and police reforms. Mishra commended the State DGP for organizing the training module. Vice-Chancellor of RRU, Prof Bimal N Patel and the State DGP, R P Upadhyaya also addressed the probationers.

Earlier, Dean Training of the School of Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security at RRU, Dharati Dholariya and Assistant Professor at the School of Forensics, Risk Management & National Security of RRU Sudhanshu Shekher Tiwari briefed about the training programme.

A total of 16 DSPs from Arunachal Pradesh are undergoing the maiden training programme.
