Exactly, but I disagree it needs every state to be on board at the same time. As police services are answerable and controlled by their respective states, induvidual states (the more responsible and forward-thinking ones) can move foreward on their own to upgrade their police whilst other states remain where they are. Once there is momentum in this move more and more states will jump on the band-wagon. It is just a case of getting that initial momentum going and,sadly, the law and enforcement side of states seems to be ignored by most people and politicans. Everyone is all too happy to accept the status quo. You do get a certain level of disparity amongst certain police forces as some are better funded than others but there is not a dramatic difference.
I'd like to see the standard Agra police have adopted become common-place in India:
The high-vis jackets, utility belts with hand-cuffs, collapsible batons,radios etc, the decent-looking training given to them, the modern-looking police patrol cars etc all this looks very professional and presents a better image than this:
This is just depressing to see.
