A Study on Public Policy Issues towards Management and Deployment of Police Personnel with Reference to North Bengaluru

Human Resource Management (HRM) in Police has the responsibility for identifying, selecting, inducing the competent police personnel, training them, facilitating and monitoring them to perform efficiently. HRM in police is supposed to render direct services to the society and is responsible for protection of members of the society. Police personnel, who are qualified, well trained are motivated are led by competent superiors and these superiors are responsible for development of the present federal structure. The federal structure, system and its sustainability depends completely on superiors and their main duty is to maintain enforcement of law and this can happen only if they have autonomy. Core function of Police Service should be for general public and this can be provided through community policing and they may not serve any political parties except for the Chief Minister. Through exploratory study in this paper it is summed up that the success of police policies is determined by two factors. (a) Governments and top management in police who formulates and determines central and state policies wisely and by (b) Dynamic leadership of line executives both technical and non-technical. A plan of action is designed and discussed to achieve a strong federal system in the long run. Descriptive statistics is used to analyse the data collected though two questionnaires from both public and police and the aim of this research is to bridge the gap between the perceptions of both parties and provide suitable recommendations for the existing system.
