15. What Needs To Be Done
Constitute the State Security Commission and make the Police Complaints Authority functional; both in letter and spirit.
Fill up gaps in the sanctioned and available strengths of the police force at the level of the Investigating Officers and in the Police Control Room (100/103 helpline).
Home department needs to improve coordination between Investigating officers and public prosecutors.
Improve the monitoring of Public Prosecutors performance.
Police should take steps to reach out to SEC D & E classes to address any apprehensions about police, law & order. Using regional language mediums, local cable channels can be helpful.
Strengthen and where necessary create infrastructure for continuous training, forensic labs, crime mapping and crime forecasting.
