Delhi Police has got its new leadership. A very experienced and brave officer has now taken charge as Delhi Police Commissioner. His story is no less than a film script—after earning an engineering degree, he gave up his corporate career path, cleared the tough UPSC exam and joined the Indian Police Service (IPS). Today, he is in the news for preparing a new security blueprint by taking charge of the law and order of the capital.
Journey from engineering to uniform
The educational background of the new Delhi Police Commissioner is technical. Being an engineering student, he has amazing ability to think logically and solve complex problems. After completing his graduation, he realized that his real aim was to serve the society, for which he chose the difficult path of preparation for administrative services. It is the result of his concentration and hard work shown during UPSC preparation that today he is holding the top post of Delhi Police.
Now a new ‘digital’ chapter of Delhi’s security
After being appointed to the post of Commissioner, he has clearly indicated that his focus will be on ‘Smart Policing’. Having an engineering background, he plans to make maximum use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and modern technology in the security of Delhi. To curb crime in the capital, he is laying special emphasis on integration of CCTV networks and data-driven policing so that criminals are not spared under any circumstances.
Challenges and primary strategy for capital
It is a big challenge to take command of a metropolis like Delhi, where there are many sensitive dimensions of security. The Commissioner has given priority to women’s safety, curbing cyber crimes and better coordination between police and public at the local police station level among his priorities. They are working on a ‘zero tolerance’ policy to build trust among the local people and make policing more transparent. Since his assumption of charge, a new energy has been infused in the administrative corridors of Delhi Police.
The new commissioner should be an example
His appointment is an inspiration for those young students who want to turn to administrative services after engineering or other technical fields. His journey from being an engineer to becoming the police commissioner of the country’s largest metropolis proves that if hard work is done in the right direction, knowledge of any field can be useful in serving the country. The people of Delhi now have high expectations from him for better security and speedy justice, to meet which he has become active with his entire team.
