Police reforms are too important to neglect and too urgent to delay, was the conclusion reached at a meeting held today. Co-sponsored by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) and the India International Centre, participants pressed home the urgent need for comprehensive police reformsso tragically highlighted by the recent attacks in Mumbai. Discussing, "Citizens for Police Reform: A Basis for National Security and Good Governance", experts explained what kind of police reform is consistent with ourConstitution and how such reforms could transform present policing into an efficientand professionalized service. The discussion was part of CHRI’s ongoing campaign for an accountable, adequately resourced, and people friendly police service that is free from illegitimate political interference and answerable only to the law.
