Abstract
In the modern age of economic activities and political awakening, the police have to perform the arduous tasks of law enforcement and preservation of peace with utmost care and caution. Its main purpose is to protect the innocent from the depredation of criminals. This involves two main tasks viz., to act as the watch and ward to prevent crime and to chase out criminals who have committed a crime and bring them before a court of law for trial and punishment. The criminals always try to outsmart the police and the police make efforts to find out the culprit by using scientific means. In this process, the police are confronted with several problems. Law and order are vital for any society to achieve and maintain prosperity and morality. To maintain law and order, efficient and effective police is necessary, especially in developing countries like India. Hence, it is high time the political and permanent executive must implement the remedial measures to bring necessary reforms in police functioning.
