PROACTIVE POLICING IS NEED OF THE HOUR

The rapidly changing scenario in policing has necessitated a change in the policing style, too. “That is why we have to follow modern policing and make changes; otherwise we will not be able to cater to the needs of a growing population and its growing needs,both technologically and scientifically. Nowadays, instead of reactive policing, we have to focus on proactive policing. And, accordingly, we have to promote data management.” Dr Kumar said.

ABOUT HIS RESEARCH WORK

His research work published in the CBI journal presents the concept of a new implementable framework for data governance in modern policing along with being useful for enhancing the efficiency and efficiency of all policemen. Crime prevention through data analysis and management is more important today than ever for modern policing.

A highly robust data governance framework is needed now more than ever to keep state-of-the-art policing in sync with the changing technological revolution. In his research work, Dr Kumar has highlighted the innovative initiatives like the CCTNS and NATGRID as positive steps in this direction.
