Guardian Angels in our police force!

An extremely powerful story of the police force of the UK and India has a common root, their principles are different, and they have evolved very differently, and how the need for cross-pollination of ideas for the police force of India and the U.K has emerged like automated pedestrian traffic management Mammary brigade,3d printer guns, and so on have been implemented in the U.K The author Mr Balakrishnan mentions that his observations are made through the prisms of his family, cultural background, education, and most importantly his profession as a police officer. 

One of the chapters highlights the right to protest’ with a mention of the famous episode on the eve of Donald Trump’s visit as a State guest to the UK in 2018. Protestors flew a giant balloon with a blimp of ‘baby Trump’ over Parliament Square, London. “The level of tolerance and the right to protest is respected. Political leaders take holidays and respect their family time. In India, it often draws flak. When Theresa May, who was the Prime Minister of the UK, was holidaying in Europe, a major incident hit the headlines. A drunken driver rammed his vehicle against the Parliament Wall. Initially, it was thought of as a terrorist act. Theresa May issued statements while still on holiday. In India, it is unthinkable. I have emphasized the importance of having strong systems and institutions in place. Once the strength of the system is in place, it is immaterial who is running it.”

Talking about the chapter highlighting the rights of victims and perpetrators, he says that the system in India is often victim-oriented and gives the example of theft at the home of a senior citizen. “In an act of self-defense, the criminal was stabbed to death. He was a habitual offender and had earned money through his criminal activities. But when he died, the family built a temple in front of the senior citizen’s house and the elder couple vacated their house in fear. This highlights the lacuna in the enforcement system.”

The author likewise addresses general organization and financial models which might be repeated here. To commute home the requirement for more grounded guard dogs for public administrations, he referred to the case of how a free checking organization punished Thames Water in 2019 for its inability to hold spills under a particular level of London homes' water supply. does. "The provider was approached to pay weighty remuneration to the clients as a month-to-month allowance in water charges for the following six years. I have referenced this with regard to street mishaps in India. In quite possibly of the most extraordinary case, the Madurai High Court For disappointment in street upkeep as the reason for the mishap fixed the obligation on the roadway specialists. A Fine was forced and NHAI was coordinated to pay. Mishaps occur because of awful street conditions, yet there is no responsibility on the project worker, and so on.

In the end, I summarise that the brilliant work “Travel Tales of a Cop” was written: “forever, for the youth of our nation” The book is so incredibly reasonable, so incredibly right about the police force, that it makes you wonder about the sacrifices of a police officer. If you are the kind of person reading the book, you are almost certainly the person who’s been paying attention pretty well all along. So, the book is in that sense, fluidly written and an exceptional accumulation and condensation of all that has been written in real time over the past years

Highly highly recommended.
