National Conference of Top Cops Begins in Hyderabad

The National conference of the DGPs and IGPs was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy in Hyderabad on Friday.

The three-day conference would deliberate on security related issues confronting the nation, and to come out with ways and means to tackle them.

Addressing the Conference, the Home Minister commended the efforts of the police forces in ensuring all round improvement in the internal security situation in the country. He acknowledged the relentless efforts of police forces in handling these situations. He also lauded the coordinated efforts of Central and State intelligence for not letting ISIS indoctrinated youth in committing any act of terror in the country.

Rajnath Singh said that that the recent demonetisation of high value notes would hit the finances of anti-national forces. He emphasised on the need of exchange of information relating to best practices among the police personnel. He also desired that contribution of experts of various security domains, such as Investigation, Forensic Science and Prosecution, need to be appropriately recognised.

On the occasion, he gave away Indian Police Medals for meritorious service to officers of Intelligence Bureau and Ministry of Home Affairs. Earlier, on arrival at the Academy, the Home Minister offered floral tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and paid homage to the martyrs of the Indian Police Service at the Martyr’s Memorial.

Ministers of State for Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju and Hansraj Gangaram Ahir, Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi, National Police Academy director Aruna Bahuguna and others were present.
