New Delhi, Feb 21 (WTN)- To further strengthen the model of good governance by acting as a link between the people and the government, Ministry of Home Affairs has commissioned Bureau of Police Research and Development to conduct a pan-India survey called ALL INDIA CITIZENS SURVEY OF POLICE SERVICES through the National Council of Applied Economic Research, New Delhi in nine months. Motive of this survey is to improve service delivery in policing and enhancing public satisfaction.
The survey is aimed to understand public perceptions and their attitudes about Police, gauge the level of number of crimes or incidents in which matter is not reported to Police, the position on ground relating to crime reporting & recording, and to assess citizen’s perception and experience about women and children safety.
The survey will commence in mid March, 2019 and cover a representative sample of 1.2 lakh households spread over 173 districts across the country, based on the National Sample Survey framework. All States and UTs would be suitably represented in this survey.
The outcome of the survey is expected to bring out useful suggestions for stakeholders in formulating appropriate policy responses for crime prevention programmes, transformation in community policing, improvement in the access to the justice and increased/ appropriate resource allocation for police in systematic manner.
