President Droupadi Murmu today said that law and order is a necessary pre-condition for attracting investment in any state or region. She added that effective policing is as important as economic incentives in promoting investment and growth.
Addressing probationers of Indian Police Service 77 RR (2024 batch) here she emphasized that young officers who will soon occupy positions of power and authority should keep in mind that with authority comes accountability. “A future-ready police force led by young officers will play a major role in the making of Viksit Bharat,” she said.
The President said that young officers should remember to choose what is ethical and follow just and fair procedures even when dealing with exigencies.
The President said that a police officer deals with crime and criminals almost all the time. This may have a desensitising effect on them and blunt their humaneness. She urged officers that in the course of becoming an effective officer, they should make a special effort to keep their own compassionate core intact.
