• Said – Haryana Police’s new commitment: Proactive Policing and the policy of “Fighting Fit & Working Order”
• Every police station will become a symbol of trust, and every policeman will remain safe — DGP O.P. Singh
• Service and Security: A major transformation in Haryana Police’s working style
Chandigarh : Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) Shri O.P. Singh chaired a meeting with all Commissioners of Police (CPs), Superintendents of Police (SPs), and Station House Officers (SHOs) at Police Headquarters. He stated that the working style of Haryana Police will be completely transformed. The police must now become proactive, solution-oriented, coordinated, and citizen-centric. Simultaneously, the living and working conditions of police personnel will also be improved.
Orders to improve police station conditions
The DGP directed officers of the Haryana Police Housing Corporation (HPHC) to ensure that within two weeks, all police stations and posts are upgraded. Kitchens, washrooms, electrical wiring, and safety systems should be repaired and improved. He emphasized that every police station should appear clean, safe, and organized. Engineers have been made personally responsible for visiting each station and submitting their reports.
Policy for keeping the force “Fighting Fit & in Working Order”
“My foremost objective is to keep Haryana Police fighting fit and in working order,” said DGP Singh. “Mistakes during duty are natural, but indiscipline or misconduct will not be tolerated under any circumstances.” He added that Haryana Police remains on duty 24×7, 365 days a year, in service of the public. “I cannot see any of my police personnel in harm’s way — we are here not to die, but to serve and protect the people.”
If any criminal breaks the law, they will be sent behind bars as per legal procedure, but if anyone retaliates or attacks the police, they will receive an immediate and appropriate response. Haryana Police stands as a strong shield between the citizens and criminals.
Faster assistance to martyrs’ families
The DGP directed that the families of martyred police personnel must receive immediate help as per rules. No delays should occur, and a report on their status should be submitted every 15 days. No work related to martyr families should be left pending.
Public communication and personnel engagement
The DGP instructed all district officers to conduct regular field visits, interact with police personnel, and boost their morale. He emphasized that polite behavior with the public is crucial. Police officials should use simple courteous words like “Please, Sorry, Thank You” — this will improve the image of the police and strengthen public trust.
Alertness and engagement on social media
The DGP said the police must now remain active on social media. Officers should monitor those spreading rumors or misinformation against the police right from the initial stage. District CsP & SsP should address citizens daily through social media, TV, or other platforms to maintain transparency and trust.
Crime control through coordination
All police stations and posts must work together and formulate joint strategies to reduce crime in their surrounding areas. Director of Haryana Police Academy, Shri Arshinder Chawla, has been directed to provide practical training to new Police Sub-Inspectors so that they learn real-life policing instead of adopting a “filmy” approach.
Crime reduction and achievements
The DGP informed that rape cases in Haryana have declined by 50 percent, and overall crime has also decreased significantly. The successful implementation of the new criminal laws has been appreciated by the Union Home Minister. Haryana continues to rank among the top states in the CCTNS system.
Discipline and responsibility
The DGP stated — “Department first, convenience later.” He instructed that officers posted in sensitive areas must not take leave without prior intimation. SHOs must inform the IG before taking leave, and SPs must inform the ADG (Law & Order).
DGP Shri O.P. Singh concluded by saying that the goal of Haryana Police is clear — every policeman must remain safe, every citizen must live without fear, and every police station must stand as a symbol of public trust.
