HYDERABAD: Emphasising on development of soft skills among the police force, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said human and behavioural psychology should be vital parts of police training, even as he called for a qualitative change in the force.
Addressing the annual DGsP/IGsP conference at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy here, he said the development of soft skills was now essential and should become a part of the training drill.
“Aspects such as human and behavioural psychology should be vital parts of police training,” he stressed.
The Prime Minister recalled that it was on this day in 2008 that a deadly terror attack had struck Mumbai, and police had bravely fought against terrorists.
He recalled the over 33,000 police personnel, who have laid down their lives in line of duty.
On law and order, the Prime Minister emphasised the importance of foot patrolling and constabulary intelligence.
Modi further called for a qualitative change in the police force through a collective training effort.
“Technology and human interface are both important for the police force to keep progressing,” he said.
Noting that the annual conference has “undergone a transformation in the way it is conducted”, Modi said it had become a platform for sharing experiences which leads to good inputs for policy planning. (AGENCIES)
