The Indian Police was established in 1861 under the Police Act, 1861 (Act V of 1861) to reorganize the police force and to make it an efficient instrument for the prevention and detection of crime. However, the organization was seen as the strong arm of the colonial state for a long time. It has undergone a huge change in terms of constitutional and legislative mandate, organizational structure, role and responsibility in the post-independence period. The rule of law is the basic feature of Indian Constitution and the bedrock of democracy. We need a strong law enforcement agency for the prevention, detection, investigation of criminal cases and maintenance of public order. There have been efforts on the part of the Government of India and Government of Uttarakhand to modernize the police organization to meet the emerging challenges of law enforcement in the changing socio-economic and socio-political environment. There is a felt need for academic study of issues related to law enforcement and to bring about structural, procedural, technological and operational changes to improve law enforcement activities.
A decision was taken in the DGsP/ IGsP Conference, 2018 held in a Tekanpur, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh to set up Police-Academia Interaction Forum (PAIF) to facilitate interaction of final year students of National Law University (NLU) with Police Officers on legal matters including issues related to forensic science for improving the quality of investigation and prosecution of criminal cases.
